Egyptian Chronicles: The Strikes in Egypt , the last escape

I should have spoken about this from few weeks ago ,I was lazy and I thought that other did it more professionally than me like Arabawy

Egypt since last month saw a wave of Strikes big strikes in the factories mainly in the Delta especially El-Mahla in both the textile and Cement industries.

Huge numbers of workers hundred thousands stayed in their factories day and night in the coldest days closing their factories demanding of having their rights back mainly financially

You see those workers beside suffering from the managerial and financial corruption when these factories were part of the public sector,suffered also when most of those important factories were sold as part of the privatization and bought by foreign mostly western investors for prices less than its real value in deals mostly controlled by bribes

Anyhow the Workers want to have their rights back , and all the negotiations between the workers unions and the factories owners whether governmental appointed managers or the new owner from the private foreign sectors

There was no other escape or solution for the workers except the nightmare that scares the both regime and the factories owners : The Strikes

The Strikes since the industrial revolution was a true nightmare for the factory owners and regimes in both open market and centralized system , yes the centralized systems despite all the propaganda of workers power and rights ..etc don't want any kind of strike what so ever

In Egypt the talk of Strikes is always there , the opposition speaks of about the strike as the last solution to get rid from the current regime , in order to have democracy but it is in the end it is just a talk ,but a bad nightmare of course

The workers in the factories of textile in Mahla and the cement both complained that they didn't take their incentives or bonuses with late salaries ,this is unfair really , I am not a leftist or something but this is unfair , I mean the textile industry is very successful in Egypt , it is one of more primary industries , millions come from it , of course these millions those poor hard working workers don't see any of it

From couple of days I read that a committee in the Shura' a council "The senates" spoke about this phenomena !! and they warned from its drawbacks on the Egyptian industry and economy !! Now they speak about the dangers of those strikes and the government attack those who are calling for it in the factories ,I think instead of the blaming and accusation game the government must stand beside the workers and their unions , already I remember that this was among the program of President Mubarak.

Even if some of these factories were sold to the private sector like in the case of the cement factories , there must be regulations and laws that protect the worker's right

I mean how do you think the productivity will exceed or even continue if the worker didn't take his minimum right for God Sake !!!

Anyhow I think the strikes policy is a healthy thing here and it is a natural respond , in fact there are many industries and sectors in Egypt I am surprised till now that the strikes wave didn't reach to it , may be it will , but it is just a matter of time
