Ghazl el-Mahalla: Leaflets distributed threatening new strike

Posted on By 3arabawy

I still don’t have details, but according to a labor source hundreds of leaflets were distributed on Monday in Ghazl el-Mahalla, threatening a new strike on 21 July (one week after the start of the new financial year?).

I still haven’t seen the statement, nor do I know the full details of the workers’ demands included. I was only told at least 500 copies of that statement were distributed.

A sign of changing times

“If you need something from the dog, tell him: ‘Please, Master,'” goes the Egyptian wisdom, which you have probably heard over and over again.

Well, not any more! Inspired by the wave of strikes, cartoonist Tantawy designed the banner below:

“If you need something from the dog, tell him: ‘I’m staging a sit-in.'”
