The Socialist Alliance (an umbrella coordination mechanism that includes the Revolutionary Socialists, the Egyptian Communist Party, the left-leaning Justice Center for Labor Rights) has issued a statement, in solidarity with the textile strikers in the Nile Delta towns, and denouncing the corruption of the government’s General Federation of Trade Unions.

You can find the statement in Arabic here.

I’ve also received news that the Kafr el-Dawwar workers may start a hungerstrike tomorrow.
