"Workers are angry" - reports from the front line in Cairo

It's come down to this: despite the regime's efforts to cut off all communications, worker-activists in Egypt are managing to make phone calls to overseas, reports are being transcribed and then translated, and the results are appearing on LabourStart.

You can keep track of the very latest happening in Cairo here:

Mexico: 4 years on and still no justice for Santiago Rafael Cruz

On April 9, 2007, 29-year-old Santiago Rafael Cruz, an organizer for the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, was bound with rope and beaten to death in the union's Monterrey office.

Nearly 4 years later, the killers – and those who organized the assassination – are still at large.
