Feb 20: The demands of strikers at Misr Spinning and Weaving were met, the strike ended:
"We ended the strike, the factory is working. Our demands were met," including a 25-percent increase in wages and the dismissal of a manager involved in corruption, Naousha said.
Misr Spinning and Weaving is the largest plant in the Egyptian textile industry, which employs 48 percent of the nation's total workforce, according to the Centre for Trade Union and Workers' Services.
Banks, which closed last week as their workers staged protests demanding better pay and an end to corruption, reopened for business on Sunday.
