I received a statement signed by the Hisham Mubarak Law Center, the Workers’ Coordination Committee and the Egyptian Workers and Trade Unions Watch with more details of the agreement between the government and the strikers.
There’s a mistake however in the last line. The statement says the tax collectors are threatening to resume their “strike” on 9 January if the govt betrays its promises. In reality however the strike resumes. The civil servants will go to their offices but will not collect the taxes. They are threatening to resume the downtown Cairo “sit-in” once again on 9 Jan if the agreement is not fulfilled.
