AUC workers on strike

Posted on By 3arabawy

The American University in Cairo workers went on strike on Wednesday 27 October, 2010 to demand from the administration their legitimate rights to:
1. Receive a gross minimum monthly wage of LE1,200 ( less than LE1000 net) with equal pay for all workers who hold the same position.
2. Have Saturday as an official holiday for the AUC workers as it is for all those employed in the maintenance, service departments and the administration. If one is to work on Saturday they shall receive overtime pay for their work.
3. Receive LE200 as meal compensation (or an adequate meal) in addition to the salary.
4. Receive annual salary raise of no less than 10% on the original wage of each worker. This percentage is subject to be increased by the administration.
5. Receive Social Insurance coverage that includes all the years of service to the AUC.

Dear Members of the AUC Community,
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the “Police Force Memorial” in the presence of General Ismail El Shae’r on behalf of the Minister of Interior, General Habib El Adly. The celebration will take place tomorrow Monday, February 22nd at 12:30 pm in Bassily Auditorium.
At this event, AUC will be honoring the families of the policemen who died on duty. General Ismail El Shae’r has also graciously agreed to take questions addressed by members of the AUC Community.
I look forward to your participation in this noble event.
David Arnold

Well, if General Shae’r has graciously agreed to take questions addressed by members of the AUC Community, can someone please ask him about this?

Is the AUC also planning to have a “Police Torture Victims Memorial,” and honor the families of those tortured, raped and murdered by Shae’r’s and Habib’s men?
