The Public Administration Employees Association announced in a statement, “Forced suspension on Friday of every week due to the high cost of transportation, in addition to the strike for an additional day per week, with Tuesday, September 8, being the strike of the next week, in addition to Thursday, September 17, the strike day of the following week.” She said: “After we were waiting for the 2027 budget to include appropriations to cover the expected increase at the beginning of 2027, to reach 30 times, in addition to maintaining the other allowances, we are surprised that her project was devoid of these appropriations, and in fact, a blatant discrimination appeared in it between departments, by allocating a bonus clause for employees of one of the public administrations, in exchange for working outside official working hours, knowing that this allowance should be in the compensation for additional work, but it seems to be just a prelude. To circumvent and not adhere to the decree determining the value of the hour for additional work. The draft budget included the allocation of some departments by approving compensation for additional work or bonuses while most departments were deprived of it, and this does not befit the reform government. Therefore, the Public Administration Employees Association calls for this budget not to be passed, except after all departments are equal to each other in the allocations for additional work and bonuses, in compensation for the largest number of annual working days among all departments. She added: “As the government continues to ignore the rights of employees, and with the association emphasizing its following basic demands, which were issued in its previous statements and are not limited to: correcting salaries to ensure their return to their pre-crisis purchasing value while rejecting any project that would delay the increase for the lower categories for several years, raising the daily transportation allowance to 1,500,000 and giving fuel allowance according to the real price of a can of gasoline, raising social benefits, especially education grants.” She concluded: “The Association warns, in all seriousness, that it may reduce working days to one day per week in preparation for a complete closure, if the employee continues to be burdened with transportation burdens that exceed the temporary transportation compensation due, and continues to ignore the rest of the demands, especially with the continuing exorbitant rise in the price of fuel and in the prices of goods in general.”
