ILO Praises Egypt’s First Steps on Workers’ Rights
For decades under former President Hosni Mubarak, Egypt was one of the countries often cited by the International Labor Organization (ILO) as restricting or denying workers’ freedom to join a union. This week, the ILO praised the new Egyptian leaders for taking the first steps towards recognizing that basic human right.
ILO Director General Juan Somavia said:
The recognition of the rights of all trade unions to be registered and conduct freely their legitimate activities opens the door for a new era where the right to freedom of association will be fully respected in law and in practice.
The right of all workers and employers in Egypt to form and join organizations that are independent and genuinely representative is a major step in the revolutionary changes taking place in Egypt.

I hope everyone remember to vote the next time. i known this was going to bad when they put those republin in they have never been for working people. some time have to let thing get bad before people see the truth. this is going to be bad. i just don,t know what wrong with people after the 2 years of blocking every for american what you think they were going to do.
Egypt is going in the right direction, now if only the second largest manufacture in the world (#1 for 110 years) would follow suit. This is a sad day in America. I will keep buying American made (union) as long as I can. If only everyone would.(Sigh)
If the American people don’t wake up and start buying everything they can find that is still made in American and leave all the China made products in the stores and auto show rooms we will soon be bowing to the little man that rules CHINA. It was said to me that there are not any completely made American cars anymore. Maybe some of the parts in our American cars contain some foreign parts but the factories and show rooms are American owned and the profits stay in this country. When you buy foreign made and owned products you are helping the economy of that foreign country since only the wages of the worker stays in this country. We should support putting every penny from profits back into our country to help our economy not the people of countries that admit they love the money we pump into their country but their people HATE us. I believe those are the words of a representative from China the other day. I can’t remember where I read it but nice huh?
