		</div><p>Almost 20,000 Belgian trade union members have staged a demonstration to protest against what they see as increasingly bad working conditions and the erosion of their right to strike.</p>
<p>Action by transport workers paralysed subway and other traffic in Brussels for most of the day.</p>
<p>The trade unions have been angered by companies that seek to impose new contracts on workers that impact their social rights, affect their working conditions and cut their pay.</p>
<p>They are specifically protesting against the decision by the Delhaize supermarket chain to change the store management set-up, directly cutting into the income and rights of staff.</p>
<p>Police authorities estimated the crowds walking through the capital at 18,000.</p>
<p>“We don’t want second-class employees. We want respect and equal rights for all,” the socialist ABVV union said in a statement.</p>
<p>The unions are also protesting against management measures to stifle strike action through court injunctions against the blocking of company premises, among other issues.</p>
<p>“The defence of our social and trade union rights is being made impossible,” the ABVV statement said.</p>
<p>As well as public transport, the day of protest affected services such as day care centres and rubbish collection.</p>
