المصرية للأسمدة is a company owned by Unsi and Naseef Sawiris,under the umbrella of Orascom for Construction. The company signed a deal to export 1000 tons of phosphate fertilizers to Israel, (100 tons a week).The company has a labor force of roughly 800.Two days ago the packaging workers were shocked to see the management asking them to package the products in unmarked bags to be transported "somewhere" by Jordanian truck drivers.The workers (around 100) went on strike suspecting rightly this shipment was for Israel. The management cracked down, deducting15-days of everyone's salary!
A campaign for the solidarity with the victimized strikers is on its way.. I'll post more details on the blog as soon as it's up.. (Hopefully the server problems will be solved by tomorrow max)
