The full story

Private bus drivers working as subcontractors for the Walloon public transport operator TEC launched a one-day strike disrupting regular and school bus routes across multiple provinces, including Liège, Namur, Luxembourg, Hainaut, and Walloon Brabant. Organised by the CSC Services publics union, the action aimed to demand better pay, improved meal vouchers, reimbursement of travel expenses, fair parking remuneration, and the implementation of a social clause to prevent private companies from undercutting wages during contract competitions. The public transport operator advised travelers to check updates via its online channels while the union announced plans for further protests and a demonstration outside the Walloon Parliament in Namur on December 4.
