‘Nothing compares to Egypt’

Suez strikers score victory!

Posted on 25/08/200715/01/2021 By 3arabawy

Lovely news from home…

The strike of the Suez Fertilizers Company workers was suspended Friday 5:30pm, following negotiations between the CEO of the company Sayyed Abul Hawa el-Daw and the Labor Ministry officials in Suez on the one hand, and six of the strike leaders on the other, whereby the following had been agreed up on:

1-The monthly salaries of the workers will be raised by LE200

2-An Ambulance car will be provided and stationed at the factory

3-A daily meal will be provided for the workers in their shift breaks

4-A sacking order against one of the strikers has been revoked

Mabrouk!

[I had to check with my sources again in Egypt about the timing of the strike, coz I was skeptical about how the strike started on a Friday, which is supposedly a holiday. But it turned out this company is one of those who work 24/7, with three alternating eight-hour daily shifts.]

I still don’t have details about the situation in the mother company in Kafr el-Zayat, where 2000 workers warned the management on Friday that they would start a strike on Sunday if the Social Bonuses are not paid.

Suez Fertilizers Company workers on strike

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.
