In a sudden step, Rajeh Abdel Aziz Al-Najjar, Commissioner General of the Tanta Linen Company, issued a decision that is unnumbered and does not bear any seals to cancel the decision to dismiss eight workers, which was issued on Monday, February 17.
The eight workers were initially fired due to a strike they made to demand their tenure and the activation of the permanent work contracts that were concluded with them by the administration after a Judicial ruling was issued for the company's return to state ownership after nearly ten years.
The Union and Workers Services home page, quoting some employees of the company, stated that the dismissal decision was not real until it was cancelled.
It was rather was a manoeuvre by the administration to intimidate the workers and force them to break the strike without fulfilling their legitimate demands of the workers to tenure them and activate their permanent contracts, according to the same statement.
The workers added that the decision was filed less than an hour after it was suspended in a suspicious atmosphere that indicates the administration's frustration and its inability to deal with workers’ issues and demands and the implementation of the law, thus affecting the company's future.
On the other hand, the workers’ strike continues for the sixth consecutive day to demand tenure without any action being taken by the administration side to contain the situation, discuss the workers’ demands seriously or search for real solutions to the crisis.
