I received a brief message from labor activists back home.
More than 400 Suez Fertilizers Company workers who have been staging a sit-in for three days, announced they are escalating their industrial action to a strike starting from Friday morning.
Their counterparts in the mother company, in Kafr el-Zayyat, (I don’t know how many workers in total yet) have warned the management they will go on strike Sunday if their Social Bonuses are not paid.
