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.

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.
