Labor protests over low payment continue

Several companies are currently witnessing workers' strikes.

More than 400 workers at a spinning machinery factory in the governorate of Helwan are striking. They are calling for an increase in annual bonuses and demanding that delayed promotions be implemented.

Meanwhile, around 700 workers at Coca-Cola resumed their strike on Sunday at the company's Nasr City location. They are calling for the permanent appointment of temporarily workers, and salary improvements to cope with rising prices.

At Misr-Iran Textile company, 2400 workers organized a sit-in on Sunday calling for the resignation of the managerial board. They said the board had failed to respond to demands for monthly bonuses, the permanent appointment of temporary workers (including disabled laborers), and the promotion of workers who have spent more than 15 years in the same positions.
