Minister of Manpower and Migration

Dear Minister,



I am writing on behalf of the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers’ Federation, a Global Union Federation bringing together 220 affiliated unions in 110 countries with a combined membership of ten million workers, to express grave concern at the labour conflict that has emerged at the Tanta Company for Linen & Oils.



I understand that workers at the plant have gone on strike following the breakdown of negotiations between management and the union committee.



The General Trade Union of Textile Workers has now launched a strike at the in support of the workers’ legitimate demands, which include:



- the payment of bonuses on the basis of 2008 wage rates, instead of on 2003 rates as is currently the case;

- the payment of the profit-sharing bonuses that have gone unpaid since the company was privatised;

- an increase in the Meal allowance from 32 Le to 90 L.E, in line with prevailing allowances in the sector;

- the payment of the legal yearly incentive of 7% as of July 1 2008;

- the reinstatement of nine workers – including two trade union leaders – unjustly dismissed for demanding their rights. The nine are Gamal Othman, Ashraf El Harti, Ahmad El Shenawi, Ali Abu Leila, Aqqad Tantawi, Hisham ‘Oql, and Ra’afat Ramadan were all fired from the company on July 15. ‘Oql and Ramadan are both members of the eleven-member local union committee at the Tanta Company.



I understand that prior to the strike, management threatened to dismiss any worker who participated in the strike as well as trying to force workers to sign a commitment that they would not go on strike. These ac

تحية طيبة وبعد ""

نتشرف باحاطة سيادتكــــم علما بأننا قمنا بتنظــــــيم اضراب سلمى عن العمل للعاملين فى شركة طنطا للكتان والزيوت طبقــــا للقانون المصــــرى المنظــم لعلاقات العمل وذلك بعد فشل كافـة المفاوضات التى تمت مع صاحب العمل السعودىالجنسيــة عبد الالة الكعكى فـى الوصول الى حلـول لحـقوق العاملين بالشركة وهى :-

1- توقف الشركة عن صرف العلاوة الدورية التــــــى قررها قانون العمل والتى تقدر بمقدار 7% من الاجر الاساسى اعتبارا من 1/7/2008

2-توقف الشركة عــــــن صرف الحافز للعاملين على اساس الاجور الاساسية الحالية وتجميد عملية الصرف على مرتب 30/6/2004

3-امتناع الشركــــة عن زيادة بدل الوجبــــة الغذائية من 32جنيه الى 90جنية اسوه بالعاملين بالشركات الاخرى من نفس القطاع 0

4-قيام الشركة بفصل عــــــدد 9 عاملين منهم عدد2 نقابين خلال شهر يوليو 2007 وأكتوبر 2008وامتناعها عن عودتهم للعمل بالرغم من صدور احكام قضائية لصالح البعض منـــــــهم

5-امتناع الشركـــــــة عن صرف الارباح للعاملين منذ عام 2006 بالرغم من تحقيق فائض بميزانياتها من 2005 وحتى تاريخة .

علما بان المستثمر السعودى لا يلتزم بالقوانين والاتفاقيات الدوليـــة حيث قـام بفصل بعض العاملين والنقابيين فصـــــــلا تعسفيا فضلا عن اتخاذه اجراءات تعسـفية بمجرد الاعلان عن الاضراب منــها حرمان العاملين من صرف مرتباتهــــــم الشهرية عن شهر مايو 2009

وبالرغـــــــم من ان النقابة اعلنت عن الاضراب من يوم 31/5/2009 وحتى الان 00 الا انه لم يرضخ لاى تفاوض ويصر على تعنته وتعسفة ومخالفته كافــــــــة المواثيق والأعراف الدولية ذات الصلة بعلاقات العمل0

نأمل التكرم بالتدخل من جانبـــــــكم بدعمنا فى الوصول الى حلـــــــول مرضية لحقوق العمال بالشركة .

وتفضلوا بقبول وافر الاحترام """

We would like to inform your good self the Saudi investor does not respect the laws and the international agreements meanwhile he fired some of the workers and unionists and also he acting in tough way when he informed that the workers would have strike meanwhile he stopped to pay salaries since May 2009

Although the union announce the strike since 31/5/2009 until now he refused to negotiate and he insists on his violence which is not related to the agreements and the international legislation
