Let's all go on strike...

Post by DJKeefy »

All you seem to hear these days is about another strike in Egypt, It seems to be the in thing at the moment, from textile workers, public transportation workers, electricity workers, the police, oil workers, schools and universities staff etc

11127

In most cases the strikers are demanding more wages from 25% upwards.

Last week Morsi increased all goverment workers and pensioners 15% increase (that's a minumun of 100le more a month)

OK so the majority of Egyptians need wage increases, but where is all this money coming from to pay for all these wage increases, the increase in the goverment workers and pensioners will cost the goverment billions more each month on them alone. Egypt is in financial difficulty as it is, this is just going to add to the problem.

Is this the right time to strike?
