Bus drivers for the TEC company in the Mons and Eugies depots initiated a strike on August 14 to protest the absence of air conditioning in vehicles, noting internal temperatures exceeding 40°C. 

Following these actions, trade unions called for additional 48-hour strikes on August 26 and 27. In addition to climate concerns, workers are demanding 100 euro eco-cheques to address wage stagnation and the rising cost of living.
