Proximus: First strike expected to occur on Tuesday January 15th
The Christian union CSC-ACV reported that Proximus staff will carry out a first strike action on Tuesday January 15th, in protest against the « transformation plan » announced by the Belgian telecommunications company.
Proximus announced last Thursday morning details of a « three-year transformation plan » which includes keeping 1,250 new workers but also the possibility of a reduction in staff « of about 1,900 employees over the three years next years, in line with the expected reduction in workload ».
The CSC union calls on the Proximus staff to carry out a strike on Tuesday against the restructuring plan programmed by the telecommunications company. The union has filed a strike notice and is calling on all employees to visit the Proximus towers in Brussels on Tuesday. « Our activists want to give a signal. They want to be respected, » said CSC Secretary Ben Coremans.
The strike may cause disruption within the group, especially in Proximus stores, some of which may remain closed. Customers requesting assistance from a call center might experience longer waiting times.
Customers who have an appointment with a Proximus technician on Tuesday may also see this appointment postponed.
