I received a statement issued by the Mahalla Solidarity Committee on Thursday, with more details about the solidarity action with the Ghazl el-Mahalla strikers.

According to the statement, a number of textile labor activists in Bolivara, El-Soyouf, and Alexandria Spinning and Weaving have met and are mobilizing for solidarity protests in their factories. Kafr el-Dawar workers are also mobilizing for a new protest, while the Helwan Iron and Steel Mills workers are fund raising for the Mahalla strikers.

The Socialist Alliance is also calling on Egyptians to join the protest against the General Federation of Trade Unions this Sunday, 12 noon, Galaa St.
