Egypt: Workers of Universal protest after being unpaid

2,500 workers in the Universal company resumed their strike on December 13, after the administration’s violation of the written agreement signed with the workers on October 9 at the Ministry of Manpower in Cairo.

 

Workers demand:

 

  • Paying July, August, and September salaries
  • Payment of the delayed grants
  • Including a clause that prevents transferring workers to different jobs different from theirs
  • Applying the articles of labour law No. 12 of 2003 when the company decides to end a worker’s contract

 

The agreement included:

 

  • The administration will pay the August salary on October 10
  • The administration pays the remainder of the month of July to workers who have not paid their full wages for this month (administrative and technicians) on Tuesday 12 October
  • The salary for the month of September 2021 was paid in two parts; the first payment on 20 November and the second payment on 25 December for all employees.
