Working in Belgium - Representation of workers

The trade union delegation represents the staff of the company who are union members and is responsible for defending their professional interests; among other things, it intervenes with the employer each time there is a dispute concerning the application of regulations and agreements relating to individual and collective working conditions.

Every four years, trade union delegates can be elected at company level. As a union member, you can request information or apply for support with problems that arise at work.

These trade union delegates can only be dismissed on serious grounds.
