Belgium faces 1-day railway strike on Thursday

Railway unions say they will stage a one-day strike across Belgium starting late Wednesday.

Unions say they are protesting efforts to restructure the cargo unit of the state-owned NMBS-SNCB railway company. They say some 3,000 jobs could be cut as a result. Talks to avert the strike collapsed earlier this week.

The strike has already forced Eurostar and Thalys to cancel high-speed rail services on Thursday between Brussels and London, and between Brussels and Paris and Amsterdam.
