Belgium: Duracell workers win strike

Workers at the factory in Aarschot had originally walked out on Thursday during negotiations.

The latest offer was approved by 69,6% of workers at a General Assembly on Tuesday. Workers had refused a management offer of 500 euros in bonuses, a 100 euro christmas bonus and a staff shop selling products from the parent company Procter & Gamble. They eventually settled for a 750 euro bonus paid in three installments with the other benefits included.
