Around 1700 workers at the privately-owned Honeywell factory in the 10th of Ramadan City have been on strike since 10pm yesterday, demanding the 30% raise decreed by Mubarak last May.
The workers had staged a two hour strike a couple of days ago, only to be promised by the management that they’ll receive the raise in October, not including the four previous months since May. The workers objected, and started a strike since 10pm yesterday, occupying the factory.
UPDATE: The strike was suspended around 4pm, after the company management signed a pledge to pay the raise and the late dues at the beginning of September.
