According to flandersnews.be, workers on the morning shift refused to go back to work after their mid-morning break, complaining that their wages had not been paid out correctly.

Irregularities in wages and payment have been a point of contention at Opel for the past three years. Around 3,500 people work at Opel, Antwerp, and it is reported that workers have said they will only resume their jobs when management promises to act on their complaints.
