Leuven The chance is great that there is a strike in the Leuven central prison. “The board has today unilaterally decided to wing B to open on Saturday. This is a declaration of war”, sounds the with the trade unions, which once again the pressing shortage of personnel to raise.
Reason for the threatening language of the trade unions: an email from the board this weekend, wing B to open. “There are still eight people to little in order to work properly,” says Filip Dudal, secretary of ACV Public Services in Prisons. “I fear that this spontaneous strike action will lead.”
Dudal goes even a step further. “I have a feeling that this strike was provoked by management. They know that the conditions are not fulfilled. We would Monday or Tuesday, would together with the management board and quietly discuss what the possibilities are. From Saturday last in this story is not an option, because then comes that extra staff there never,” says Dudal.
