The first day of Ramadan saw a continuation of industrial action in various sectors around the country, with protests reports in Cairo, Alexandria and Minya.
In Cairo, workers of the National Distribution Company called for the removal of the company’s president for impeding production.
“The man stopped the supply of raw materials,” said Nabil Farouq, a protester. “We sit around all day without any work.”
In Alexandria, temporary teachers staged demonstrations, demanding permanent contracts with the Ministry of Education.
In the city of Minya, state television workers staged protests demanding better wages and working conditions.
