Unions at VRT Threaten Strike During Eurovision Song Contest

RTL Nieuws24 September · 16:2647 min ago

Two unions representing staff at the Flemish public broadcaster VRT, ACV VRT and ACOD-VRT, have announced strikes for May 11, 13, and 15, 2027, during the Eurovision Song Contest semifinals and final. The unions aim to protect employees with moral objections to contributing to broadcasts related to the contest, which Belgium will host in 2027. This action follows VRT's confirmation of participation despite earlier criticism from staff and unions, with ACV VRT hoping the broadcaster might reconsider its involvement.
