In solidarity with the Egyptian free union activists

Posted on By 3arabawy

The General Secretary of the British National Union of Journalists has sent a letter of solidarity to the Egyptian Real Estate Tax Collectors who are building the country’s first independent trade union in half a century:

Dear sisters and brothers,
I am writing to wish you success and offer solidarity on the launch of your new free union.
Independent trade unions which stand up for their members interests are vital for working people across the globe and I was inspired when I heard about your struggle both for improved conditions at work but also for free and independent trade unionism.
I will discuss with my colleagues ways we can offer practical support for your struggle in the British labor movement.
In solidarity
Jeremy Dear
General Secretary, National Union of Journalists
