Egypt: Dairy Workers Stage Sit-In

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Egypt, Economics & Business, Food, Labor, Protest

Five hundred dairy factory workers staged a sit in and Hossam El Hamalawy [1] from Egypt posts a picture here. The protesters are worried they would lose their jobs – after reporting to work after a month's paid leave – only to be told that they should take another two weeks off, while maintenance work continues on the plant. Workers report that there is no work being done on the factory.
