Sources: RTL Info and Belgium public holidays. The long saga of the status of May 2, 2008, in Belgium (see our posts of January 10 and April 24) experienced another twist. Late last week, Labour Minister, Josly Piette, announced that May 2, 2008, will be the official day off to compensate for the conjunction of Labour Day and Ascension Day in 2008, unless a specific other date is agreed to branch-by-branch (until February 15) or company-by-company (after February 15).This means that most businesses, and government services, will be closed on May 2, 2008. In addition, federal civil servants and those contractually assimilated to civil servants, will get Monday, November 10, 2008, as a one-off bridge public holiday.
