Solidarity: Egyptian workers need a new labour law

03 Oct 2011, By Owen Tudor

The top demand of the new, independent Egyptian trade union movement is to secure the immediate passing of a labour law and the repeal of an anti-strike decree recently passed by the military interim council.

Here’s how you can help.

The TUC has worked with the ITUC and labourstart to launch an online petition aimed at the Egyptian Prime Minister. Please sign it and then put it on your website; circulate it through your networks including email, twitter and facebook; write a letter to the Egyptian Prime Minister ([email protected]) on behalf of your union; and ask your Global Union Federations and sister organisations around the world to do the same.
