Here are some links to information about Egyptian workers and the new independent union federation:

• Report from RMT Bristol branch website on 2009 rail strikes
• Centre for Trade Union and Workers' Services (It will probably load first in Arabic. Towards the top left is a menu bar. Click on it, and you can switch to English.)
• ITUC supports new independent trade union federation
• Egypt Workers' Solidarity website
• TUC is "heartened" by the formation of the new independent federation
• TUC: New federation "deserves support from all of us"
• Page about Egyptian workers from AFL-CIO (US equivalent of TUC) solidarity centre
• Port workers’ union in Egypt wins recognition
• If you would like to read a 136-page AFL-CIO report, 'The Struggle for Worker Rights in Egypt', you can download it for free here
