The Tanta Flax and Oils Company strikers are demonstrating today in front of the Gharbeia Governorate HQ.
The Tanta Flax and Oils Company strikers demonstrated yesterday, in front of the Gharbeia Governorate HQ, denouncing privatization and the Governor’s collusion with the Saudi investor. The strikers also chanted against the state-run press for ignoring their strike, and saluted the “honorable opposition press” which has devoted continuous coverage to the industrial action.
