Egypt
Textile workers fightback in Egypt
10,000 textile workers from Ghazl el-Mahalla took to the streets demanding raising the national minimum (monthly) wage to LE1200. Mubarak's Central Security Forces were out in full gear, and tried to prevent the workers from marching, but the workers managed to storm the company gates, chanting:
"Down Down Hosni Mubarak!"… "You, who's ruling us from (the Presidential Place in) Abdeen, your rule is shit!"… "They (the elite) are eating chicken and pigeons, while we are sick of eating beans"… "Gamal (Mubarak), tell your dad, the Gharbeia province (where Mahalla is located) hates him!"
