On May 18 the sidewalks of the Egyptian Parliament is packed with workers.
Leading the crowd is the 14-year-old daughter of the union leader.
In the heat of the day, about 30 workers from the Amonsito textile factory huddled under the shade of a tree.
“We are not workers, we are rejects,” the factory union leader Khaled el-Shishawy, who is known simply as sheikh Khaled said.
The workers returned after government officials and the crediting bank shirked responsibility on an agreement signed 55 days earlier.
Before returning 12 days ago, sheikh Khaled told me, “If we return to our sit-in, it won’t be the same as last time. Things will be different.”
