Here’s a good report by the Daily Star Egypt’s Rania el-Malki about the struggle of the grain mills workers in Cairo and Giza.
Read the full report here… One correction though: the report states the workers were on strike. Actually, they were not. They staged sit-ins and marched inside the factory compound chanting anti-government slogans, but production still went on. This scared the government enough into submitting to the workers’ demands, especially when the company has branches in 14 provinces (including Cairo and Giza); the workers in the provinces were waiting to see how the govt will handle the negotiations and there were signs the sit-ins may spread to other branches, namely to Minya.
Mabrouk for the grain mills workers… |
