The University professors in Egypt are planning for a strike on the next 23rd of March 2008. This strike is planned by the 9th of March group.Most of the University professors in Egypt are with the strike , of course the minority is from the professors that follow the regime and its orders in order to get positions.
Here is the official blog of the Strike, unfortunately it is only in Arabic.
The strike includes all the state owned universities in the Republic. The medical services in the Universities hospitals across the country will be continued.
The demands of the University professors are asking for are :
- Better Pensions.
- 100% immediate increase in the salaries of the professors and their assistants.
- Cancelling the law No.82 for year 2000.
- Establishing new Public universities.
The Strike planners say in their blog said that the strike was just one step and they would escalate the matter till their demands were met .
I am with the University professors and I wish them luck , meeting their demands is the best way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Cairo University in 2008
By the way I read in the newspapers that Nazif is searching in the law for a gap to crack down this strike in the same way he did with the doctors , he tries to find something in the law to make this strike illegal , well I think he will fail because this time the strike is planned by the help of law professors , they know every gap and every inch in the laws so he better listens for once to their demands.
