Posted on By 3arabawy

Around 50 Kefaya activists in Mansoura demonstrated today in front of the United Bank, to protest the bank’s mistreatment of its Mansoura-España Garments Company workers. Simultaneously, a trade unionist delegation arrived in Cairo for negotiations with the Labor Ministry, the bank’s management, and the General Federation, only to find their meeting was postponed till tomorrow as Hussein Megawer the head of the Federation did not show up, according to a trade unionist, because he was busy with visitors from the US.

Mansoura-España crisis update

Posted on By 3arabawy

The Mansoura-España Garments Company workers will not be taking part in today’s demonstration in front of the United Bank, after the Labor Ministry invited a delegation of the factory workers for negotiations in the parliament. The rest of the workers will continue the factory occupation.

While the trip by the Cairo Kefaya activists has been cancelled, Kefaya activists in Mansoura will still go ahead with the planned demo in front of the bank’s branch in Mansoura by noon.
