TRUCKERS' PROTESTS * Europe
* Belgium - Truckers to jam Brussels traffic over competition
Brussels,Belgium -The Associated Press/CBS Money Watch(USA) -September 24, 2012: -- Truck drivers will seek to disrupt Monday's traffic heading into Brussels to protest competition from eastern Europe which they say undercuts prices and lowers labor standards... Trucks will impose a go-slow pace around Brussels during the morning, increasing the risks of long traffic jams for most of the day... Unions and truckers' groups say that the open borders within the European Union are not matched by streamlined social legislation, opening the door for many underpaid workers from eastern Europe to come disrupt the market here... Under the slogan "Equal wages for equal jobs!." they call on the EU to clamp down on illegal practices with tougher checks and make sure that east European truckers get the same pay as those in Western Europe...
