The paper-manufacturing industry in Egypt directly employs 300,000 workers in 130 factories. The total number of workers employed in related sectors that serves this industry amount to 1 million. The sectors is hit hard by the crisis now
The employees told Al-Masry Al-Youm they were surprised by the decision, as other government employees succeed in achieving their demands through strikes :D
"In any case, it is clear that the strike at Shebeen el-Kom will have huge implications, since it raises doubts around the economic polices of the state, threatening further privatization schemes in the textile industry in particular. Whatever the outcome, the experience of Shebeen el-Kom is likely to further strengthen resistance to privatization among workers in other state owned factories"
