More updates from Cairo on the 55,000 strong Real Estate Tax officers strike…

After demonstrating in front Ministry of Finance yesterday, the tax officers moved to the Ministerial Cabinet building to continue their protest from 5:30pm to around 7:3opm. No one from the cabinet’s office went out to talk to the strikers. Promises are floating around however by some govt mediators that “problems will be solved in a month,” according to an activist source in Cairo. “The strikers reply was ‘this is good. But until the problems are solved we are continuing the strike.’”

Thanks for your solidarity and support. If your union can send the Egyptian government a letter demanding it responds to the strikers’ demands, that will help a lot.
Warmest regards,
