Long live the Egyptian workers! long live their true organizing efforts at the workplace! May this be the beginning of social and economic justice and the right to freely associate and organize INDEPENDENT trade unions in Egypt. OK - who and where is the next struggle for justice? Workers all over the world are ready to support and provide solidarity. Truly, a great day for all Egyptian workers and all of Egypt! Yet, lest we forget -- the road is still long and hard ahead and let us remain vigilant. This is truly a GLORIOUS day!
