Within the framework of its campaign to remove the legal barriers on the right of association, the CTUWS organized a Ramadan Breakfast Party and a round table discussion on Wednesday 24 September, 2008 at the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate. Among the personalities who attend the event which lasted for about three hours were Dr. Ahmed Hassan El Bora’i Member of ILO’s Expert Committee and Head of the Social Legislations Department of Cairo University and several trade union and labour leaders from different Egyptian governorates. In a speech delivered at this event Dr. El Bora’i emphasized the need to issue a democratic trade union act to replace the current Trade Union Act No. 35 for 1976 because it is not harmony with the current economic transformations in Egypt. The suggested law includes a group of general principles. The process of drafting the bylaws of trade union organizations should be left to their general assemblies.
