Belgium is facing its largest wildfire in more than a century.

Yet firefighter numbers are falling.

As climate risks grow, how are firefighters supposed to protect us with fewer colleagues?

This is the #PublicServicesEmergency.

Invest. Hire. Protect the workers who protect us.

Young workers aren’t the future - we’re already keeping Europe’s public services running.

And we’re entering workplaces hit by staff shortages, low pay and years of cuts.

We won’t inherit the #PublicServicesEmergency quietly. ✊

Young workers are keeping hospitals running, caring for people, cleaning streets, tackling emergencies...

But they wonder if their wages will even cover the rent.

We will not inherit the #PublicServicesEmergency quietly.

We’re here to organise, bargain & fight.

 ✊🏾 Happy International #YouthDay!

📌Brussels

Six workers lost their lives here at the Oxy Tower fire. Today, we remember them.

When preventible, it's not an "accident" anymore. We need well-resourced labour inspectorates for stronger prevention.

Workers' safety is not optional.

This is a #PublicServicesEmergency! Austerity kills!

This is a #PublicServicesEmergency! Austerity kills!

These are not isolated disasters. They expose a full-scale #PublicServicesEmergency!

When hospitals are understaffed, firefighters overstretched and emergency services underfunded; climate disasters are becoming deadlier.

We need to invest in public services - not austerity.

We need to invest in public services - not austerity.

Belgium is pursuing one of Europe's harshest austerity programmes - and it shows the result.

It is time to change course. Both in Belgium and in Europe.

Bin #austerity. Invest in public services. Address the #PublicServicesEmergency.

Thousands of people are dying due to climate-related causes. Workers lose their lives at work. Labour inspectors are left underfunded. Emergency services are pushed to their limits.

And Belgian government's response to this #PublicServicesEmergency is another round of austerity!

🇧🇪 In the last 24 hours in Belgium:

⚠️ Dozens of people were hospitalised after a chemical leak at the Port of Antwerp.
⚠️ 6 workers lost their lives in the OXY Tower fire in Brussels.

Just two weeks ago, Belgium recorded 1,747 excess deaths, during the recent heatwave.

#PublicServicesEmergency is real
Von der Leyen's answers are wrong
Corporate lobbyists get the deal
Workers are fighting back strong

⚠️ #PublicServicesEmergency in childcare

See the email sent by a municipality in Belgium. They say public nurseries are only able to respond to 3️⃣0️⃣% of the demand.

Meanwhile childcare workers face low pay and staff shortages.

This is why public service workers took a European action on 23 June!

This is why public service workers took a European action on 23 June!

From childcare to elderly support, care workers came together at the European Parliament.

Problems across Europe are the same:
◾️ staff shortages
◾️ low wages
◾️ privatisation
◾️ violence
