Hours following the victory of Ghazl el-Mahalla strikers, hundreds of workers from the Tanta Flax and Oils Company, staged a strike demanding an increase in their profit shares to a six-month pay, an increase in their food allowance, and instating 200 workers who are on temporary work contracts. The company is owned by a private Saudi investor, and is located in the Nile Delta province of Gharbeia, where Mahalla is.
UPDATE: According to Al-Masry Al-Youm, a total of 600 workers took part in the protests. The paper also reports more on the situation of the uninstated 200 workers: They’ve been working in the company for seven years, with a LE6 (roughly one US Dollar) daily wage.
