History and profile

Thumb
In February 2011, workers dissatisfied with the refusal of the leadership of the ETUF to support the Arab Spring protested outside the offices of the union.

The ETUF was founded in 1957 as a state-controlled union. Until 2011 all unions other than the ETUF were banned.[1] During the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 ETUF leaders were active in defending the Mubarak regime, including participating in attacks on peaceful protestors.[2]
