Year: 2009

I’ve just come back home after spending the day with hundreds of Tax Collectors, who descended on Nasr City, to lobby the Labor Ministry into recognizing the Free Union… It was a show of strength, power of the union.. Habibi, the president of Free Union Kamal Abu Eita was shouting in the mic today in front of the ministry before they forced the officials into allowing them in, saying: “Last century we fought the British colonialists to gain our country’s independence… Today we fight the Egyptian regime to gain the independence of our unions… That (second) battle is no less important.” And he’s right…

It was a FANTASTIC day.. probably one of the happiest days I had so far this year… I gotta run out again now and do some family errands, but I’ll write a report later and upload tons of pix I took…

MABROUK MABROUK MABROUK….
