I accuse...in the name of the Sabenians
A complaint by more than 700 Sabeniens against the management and shareholders of Sabena. The Board of Directors and the government are accused of fraudulent and organised bankruptcy. It is a unique event. A summons following non-compliance with the social plan. The Sabeniens will not let themselves be done. They accuse. The bankruptcy of the first national airline in Europe affects 17,000 people. The largest social drama in Belgian history. There is anger and sorrow, sorrow and anger. There is revolt. Delegate Maria Vindevoghel is the face of the resistance. She takes the initiative for the complaint. I accuse. She tells. About the closure and the struggle, about pain and bitterness, about perseverance and hope. Sabeniens testify. This is their book.
Maria Vindevoghel (° 1957) was a trade union representative at Sabena. She worked in Cleaning (cleaning the planes). She was rehired at Belgian Ground Service in the same function. She is the list leader of the new MARIA list for the upcoming elections in the constituency Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde.
