Salah Abdel Salam, Daqahliya Tax Collector:
All union presidents work for State Security. And all State Security (officers) serve only the regime… Egypt has turned from a welfare state to a savage capitalist state… Strikes are the only means to get our rights, as we saw in the Real Estate (Tax Collectors’ strike), Mahalla, Mansoura-España and others… There is marriage between the regime and capital. If the workers stick together they will be able to confront (this marriage).
