Video: As many as 20,000 trades unionist protest for more purchasing power | VRT NWS: news

Trades unionists took to the streets to Brussels on Friday to demand measures to increase purchasing power. The demonstration that got under way at 10am was organised by the socialist trade union ABVV, the Christian trade union ACV and the liberal trade union ACLVB. The organisers says that 20,000 people were at the march. The police say that the number of participants was a more modest 16,500. In any case this is far fewer than the 70,000 that attended the last big trade union demonstration in
