Labor Protest Politics and Worker Rights in Egypt
Labor Protest Politics and Worker Rights in Egypt
Date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 Time: 12:15-1:45 p.m. Location: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Speakers: Joel Beinin, Kamal Abbas, Sarah Leah Whitson, and Michele Dunne
Since 2004, Egypt has experienced more than 1,600 labor protests which have dwarfed political protests in scale and consequence. Are the protests bringing about changes in workers' rights, particularly their ability to form independent unions? What are the political ramifications of increased labor unrest? What are the possibilities for workers, civil society activists, and political opposition movements to cooperate? Are labor movements a harbinger for a more active and mobilized Egyptian society?
The Carnegie Endowment and the Solidarity Center will co-host Dr. Joel Beinin of Stanford University, an expert on Egypt and labor politics. He will present findings from his new report, The Struggle for Worker Rights in Egypt, which will be available at the event. Beinin will be joined in the discussion by Kamal Abbas, executive director of the Center for Trade Unions and Workers Services in Egypt, and Sarah Leah Whitson, director of the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch. Carnegie's Senior Associate Michele Dunne will moderate the discussion.
Lunch will be served.
