Regrettably, in one of his recent speeches, president Morsi has publicly blamed electricity workers for the current electricity outage crisis and accused them of bribes. http://www.industriall-union.org/a-first-national-strike-in-egypt. In his comment to this insult Wael Akl, president of the IndustriALL Egypt affiliate the General Trade Union of Electricity and Energy (GTUEE) said, "instead of appreciating the efforts of electricity workers in such hard times, the president exposes our members' lives to more risks due to his direct accusation of bribery as this would incite violence against electricity workers" and urged the president not to blame workers for his government’s failure.
