　　东方烟草公司与罢工工人达成的协议得到了东方烟草公司一名要求匿名的官员证实，因为这名官员没有获得公开透露细节的授权。他说，政府代表参加了协议的签署仪式。

　　这名官员说：“由于我们达成了协议，满足了工人的要求，我们所有分支机构的工厂现在都恢复了生产。”埃及工会联合会罢工委员会的领导人Ramadan说，她还必须看一看协议的文本。

　　东方烟草公司在通过电子邮件向证券交易所提交的声明中说，东方烟草公司的生产因罢工而在12月18日停止。

　　工会联合会说，工人们还要求增加奖金，这些奖金在年初的时候一次支付，而不是分三期支付，为临时工人提供永久性工作，并改善工作条件。

Egyptian Cigarette Maker Restarts Production as Strike Ends

　　Eastern Tobacco, Egypt's monopoly cigarette maker, resumed production after reaching agreement with workers who had been on strike for two days, Fatma Ramadan of the Egyptian trade union federation said in a phone interview.

　　The agreement was confirmed by a company official, who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to disclose the details publicly. The signing of the accord was attended by government representatives, he said.

　　"Factories in all our branches are now back in operation as we have reached an agreement to fulfill workers' demands," the official said. Ramadan, who heads the union federation's strike committee, said she had yet to see the text of the agreement.

　　Production at Eastern Tobacco was halted yesterday because of the strike, the company said in an e-mailed statement to the bourse.

　　One of the workers' main demands is the resignation of Nabeel Abdel Aziz, Eastern Tobacco (EAST)'s chairman, according to an e-mailed statement by the union federation. Eastern Tobacco's holding company hasn't yet made a statement on that.

　　The workers also sought increased bonuses, to be paid in one installment at the start of the year rather than in three, permanent jobs for temporary workers and improved working conditions, the federation said. Enditem
