BRUSSELS— The deaths of two people who had to wait for medical care due to labor demonstrations have soured this European country's normally rosy view of unions.
The deaths in late October were linked to a 24-hour strike in Liege in Belgium's French-speaking region, where 200 irate union members from the General Federation of Labor of Belgium, or FGTB, shut down a major highway to protest the government's austerity policies.
