Egypte : le maréchal Tantaoui, nouveau pharaon d’Egypte prétend interdire les grèves ouvrières mais l’Egypte entière est en train de se mettre en grève. Il veut manipuler les soldats contre le peuple travailleur mais il faut que les soldats, eux aussi, entrent en grève...

Thousands of Egyptian state employees, from ambulance drivers to policemen and transport workers, protested Monday in Cairo to demand better pay and conditions in a wave of labor unrest unleashed by the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.

Outside the Nile-side TV and state radio building, hundreds of public transport workers demonstrated to demand better pay. Several hundred protesters from the state Youth and Sports Organization also protested Monday in Tahrir, or Liberation, Square with similar demands.

Across the Nile River in the Giza district, hundreds of ambulance drivers staged a protest, also to demand better pay and permanent jobs. They parked at least 70 ambulances on a roadside along the river, but did not block the main road where they protested.

In downtown Cairo, some 200 policemen demonstrated for better pay for a second day. They also want to clear the name of the hated police, further tarnished by the deadly clashes between protesters and security forces. Some carried portraits of policemen killed in the clashes.

The employees of the company had held a protest blocking railway tracks in front of the Cairo train station making it difficult for passengers to leave or enter the station.

The employees are demanding better wages and proper contracts.

In Helwan 20 km off Cairo, some 150 workers of the Egyptian Society of Iron and Steel, the leading company of iron production, are protesting in front of the company’s administrative office, asking for their raises and proper contracts.
