Brussels, Feb 21 (IANS) The socialist trade union in Belgium -- ABVV -- has filed a complaint with the legal authorities against Indian-origin Lakshmi Mittal's steel giant ArcelorMittal, accusing it of industrial espionage, EuAsiaNews reported citing Belgian media. Flandersnews website said: "It is being alleged that a security guard used a hidden camera to film a trade union meeting in Liege." The incident reportedly occurred last October. A trade unionist became suspicious when he saw a strange ball point pen and discovered that it was in fact a hidden camera, said Flandersnews. The ABVV thinks that ArcelorMittal was trying to find out more about strike plans at the plant. ArcelorMittal has rejected the allegations, saying that if this really happened it was the action of an individual and the company condemned it. Industrial relations at ArcelorMittal plants in the city of Liege have been strained since the management announced a restructuring.
