Egypt, CTUWS, 4 August 2011: In a step that is considered as a great triumph to Egypt's Revolution, the Cabinet approved the dissolving of the Egyptian Trade Union Federation, ETUF. The decision has been taken after the document, the Manpower Minister has represented, which is concerning the rulings of the invalidity of the trade union elections for the term of 2006 – 2011. These rulings were unimplemented in the time of the former regime.
The Cabinet asked the Manpower Minister to implement these rulings, and to follow the consequences of dissolving ETUF's board, and to form a temporary committee for managing the federation till elections to be held under judicial supervision.

The Center for Trade Union & Workers' Services (CTUWS) - Honored the French Republic’s Human Rights Prize- is an Egyptian non-governmental organization established in March 1990 by some labor leaders and activists guided by their experience in the Egyptian labor movement. They vowed to meet the urgent need to form an independent organization that advances and supports the needs of workers in a democratic manner, provide direct support and services to the workers and fill the void created by the “official” trade union organization which failed to achieve its fundamental obligations.
