Egypt: Independent Trade Union Committees Address the Council of Ministers Because of the “Workforce” Stalling

The Committee for the Defense of Trade Union Freedoms and Labor Rights at the Center for Trade Union and Workers Services decided, during its weekly meeting, to issue two letters limiting and identifying the trade union committees that still have not come to light due to the intransigence of the Ministry of Manpower and its procrastination in completing their papers despite their examination and the approval of the Ministry officials of their validity.

The Committee also noted that they informed the Cabinet of this detail as well as their request to attend the tripartite meeting of the Capacity Enhancement Program, which is carried out in partnership with the International Labor Organization (ILO), to enable the establishment of independent unions, as the sponsor of the program.

This decision came in the presence of representatives of workers’ unions at the Adult Education Authority, drivers’ services in Qalyubia and Gharbia, the General Syndicate of Pensioners, workers in the Egyptian Survey, Maps and Geographic Information Systems "under establishment", workers in the localities of Menoufia “That Al-Ta’sis”, and representatives of party workers’ offices.
