Egypt's Aluminum workers continue Naga Hammadi sit-in

1MINS READ
More than 1,000 employees of Egypt’s Aluminum are continuing their sit-in at company headquarters in Naga Hammadi, Qena demanding concessions from Sayed Abdel-Wahab, firm chairman and CEO. "The protests started on Saturday when we were just a few dozen," says Effat Bahig, one of the workers taking part.

Protesters are making several demands, among them an increase in bonus payments, a restructuring of financial allowances, jobs for their sons and the resignation of administrative managerial director, Abdel-Razak Morsy.

"There was a ministerial decision to raise wages of workers in 2003, we want to apply this decree retroactively," says Bahig, adding that the current chairman refuses to negotiate with them.

"He is in Cairo not in Qena," he says.

Egypt's Aluminium management deny the protesters represent the overall will of their staff.

“We have more than 8,000 workers in the company and the majority of them rejected the invitation to the sit-in and kept up production,” says Yehia El-Maghrabi, director of the engineering department.

El-Maghrabi says that employee wages have been raised to an average of LE2,500 over the last nine months.
