No garbage collected until Sunday due to Net Brussels strike (Brussels)

The services of Net Brussels will be disrupted due to a strike until Sunday. The reasons for the strike actions concern discussions between the unions and management that, according to Net Brussels, have been going on for some time. Earlier this week, Just Brussels had already informed the municipality of Schaarbeek that the Brabant district will no longer be cleaned after a new case of aggression against one of the employees.

The strike by Net Brussels, the Brussels regional service for public cleanliness, runs from Thursday to Sunday and on Friday, May 10.

The strike – which is mainly due to the 2023 leave that has not yet been granted – affects several municipalities and neighborhoods and Net Brussels asks residents and traders whose waste is not collected to clean their bags as much as possible. to bring in.

Brabant district

Net Brussels has also decided not to clean the Brabant district for the time being after an employee was the victim of a case of aggression. There have also been cases of aggression against Net Brussels employees in the Brabant district in the past.

“While waiting for a solution, we have hired a private company to keep the neighborhood clean,” said Deborah Lorenzino (Défi), the councilor of cleanliness. “They started in the Brabant district and were still working on Thursday evening. No solution has yet been found, but new consultations are planned for Friday between Brussels Provincial Executive, the municipality and the police zone.” (amg)
