BBC Cairo staff on strike

Posted on 21/08/202321/08/2023 By 3arabawy

Egyptian journalists, who work for the BBC Cairo bureau, are starting a strike today over pay. Amid soaring inflation and devaluation of the Egyptian currency, the strikers are demanding either to get paid in US dollars like their foreign counterparts or significantly increasing their pay in local currency.

The industrial action will last for ten days, and is backed by the Press Syndicate head Khaled el-Balshy.

The journalists already went on one-day and three-day strikes in the previous months.
