On this day in 1941, workers in Belgium launched one of the first strikes in Nazi-ruled Europe — the so-called “Strike of the 100,000”.
They fought against poverty wages — and showed the working class can resist occupation.

We were at least 75,000 on the streets of Brussels today: unions, women's organisations, citizens movements, students, schoolchildren.
