Around 2000 workers in Helwan’s Military Factory No. 99 have held protests and assaulted the factory manager, General Muhammad Amin, following the death of one of their colleagues in an industrial accident.
The Minister of Military Production, Sayed Mesha’al rushed to the factory, and tried to calm down the workers by assuring them compensation will be paid to the worker’s family.
Strikes and protests are banned by law in military factories.
