Strike at UAC

"Hundreds of American University in Cairo (AUC) students have entered their 4^th day of protests demanding lower fees and higher wages for on-campus workers and security personnel, who joined their protests. Many of the campus walls and entrances are covered with banners in support of what the AUC strike.  The banners read “Strike”, “Our rights”, “2,000 minimum wage” and “No to 9% increase”. Monica El-Wazzan, a student participating in the demonstrations and sit-in, says, “I am participating because the fees increased by 9 percent without any benefits in return: nothing has improved.  I was also informed that the workers here are paid very little and considering that they collect such high it is unfair that those who clean our campus are paid such low salaries”."
