Egypt's factory strikes despite warning
CAIRO - Workers at Egypt's largest factory will continue striking, an independent labour group said on Saturday, in defiance of warnings by the ruling military junta that it will no longer tolerate protests.
Around 15,000 workers from the Misr Spinning and Weaving -which employs 24,000 people in the Nile Delta city of Al-Mahalla al-Kubra - "are holding a sit-in for a fourth day in front of the administration building," the Centre for Trade Union and Workers' Services (CTUWS) said in a statement.
