It is a very nicely written piece. --- original message --- From: "soula avramidis" <[email protected]> Subject: [Pen-l] workers of Egypt Date: 11th February 2011 Time: 11:29:51 am
http://davidmcnally.org/?p=354 Now, workers are again throwing their collective power onto the scales of the political struggle in Egypt. And Mubarak and his cronies will live to regret it. In the course of a few days during the week of February 7, tens of thousands of them stormed into action. Thousands of railworkers took strike action, blockading railway lines in the process. Six thousand workers at the Suez Canal Authority walked off the job, staging sit-ins at Suez and two other cities. In Mahalla, 1,500 workers at Abul Sebae Textiles struck and blockaded the highway. At the Kafr al-Zayyat hospital hundreds of nurses staged a sit-in and were joined by hundreds of other hospital employees. ________________________________ From: Robert Naiman <[email protected]> To: Progressive Economics <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, February 10, 2011 7:57:09 PM Subject: [Pen-l] Egypt Protesters on Verge of Victory? Watch Four Demands If Mubarak resigns, have the protesters won? All this sacrifice and protest wasn't simply about the fate of one man. The Egyptian government - and its Western backers - must be judged according to four demands: ending arbitrary detentions, ending the state of emergency, guaranteeing electoral competition, and restoring judicial supervision of elections. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/egypt-protesters-on-verge_b_821503.html -- Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org<http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l ________________________________ The University of Glasgow, charity number SC004401
