A planned national strike in Belgium may affect public transportation including air travel Feb. 13.

Trade unions are protesting wage negotiations. The rail unions plan to strike though some trains will run on Feb. 13 as the SNCB is now legally bound to offer a minimum level of service. In other sectors, unions have called on their members in the ports, air traffic control and ground crew at airports to join in the action.
