#Jan25 State-backed trade union thugs attack

Video by Sarah Carr: 14/2/2011 – A group of around 100 protesters gathered outside the state-controlled Egyptian Federation of Trade Unions, demanding the resignation of EFTU head Hussein El-Megawer a businessman who is also a member of the National Democratic Party and who workers accuse of corruption.
Workers tried to enter the EFTU lobby – peacefully – but were met with EFTU thugs carrying sticks, chairs and fire extinguishers. These clashes ensued. EFTU officials also threw empty bottles at workers from 5th floor, leading to several injuries.
