Gamal Oweida, Daqahliya Tax Collector:
We have to build our new union structures on the ground, to be solid. They (govt) will fight us hard. The (state-backed General) Federation (of Trade Unions) will not like any new independent union entities in the country… Are there others thinking of (building) independent unions? Yes, in Mahalla and other places. We have to build bridges with them, and with our colleagues in civil service.
