Labor activists involved in the ongoing British Postal strikes have come across reports of what happened to their Egyptian colleagues in Ramses Sq. last month. I received two solidarity messages. Here’s one of them:
Dear Comrade,
i read about your fight, and I would like to send to you and all the Egyptian postal workers solidarity from the Islington postal workers in North London, at present we are in a fight with Royal Mail over are terms and conditions you can be an inspiration to us all here in UK
In solidarity, David Morrison N1 CWU Delivery representative
It’s good to know the news of the Egyptian working class struggles is trickling to the rest of the world.
This is a translation of David’s message:
الرفاق الأعزاء
قرأت عن كفاحكم، و أردت أن أعلمكم بتضامن عمال بريد إزلنجتون شمال لندن معكم و مع كل عمال البريد المصريين. نحن الآن في صراع مع البريد الملكي حول شروط العمل. أنتم مصدر إلهام لنا كلنا هنا في المملكة المتحدة.
خالص التضامن
ديفد موريسون
ممثل توزيع N1 CWU
