Egypt: Textile workers protest trade union collaboration with employers
Over the past month, textile workers in Egypt have staged a series of large-scale strikes, protests and demonstrations against low pay, non-payment of bonuses and privatisations. An important factor in these strikes has been the open collaboration of the trade union bureaucracy in the General Union of Textiles Workers, who have sought to prevent any opposition to the attacks on working conditions. This has provoked a widespread confrontation between the workers and the trade union leadership.
