Striker منير.. خطاط جراج المستقبل
Mounir Fawzi Ahmad, a 37-year-old who’s been working at the Public Transportation Authority as a calligrapher for the past 10 years, for a basic monthly salary of LE179 that goes up with the bonuses to a pathetic LE350.
His job at el-Mostaqba Garage includes painting the busses’ license plates and the side placards that carry the names of the Garages and stations. Not only does he have to put up with the ridicule he occasionally receives from his managers for being a dwarf, but also he is not given any art supplies for his work. No brushes, no paints, nothing… Mounir has to buy these supplies on his own expense!
“I can’t afford buying these things every month,” he said. “And if the placards don’t get painted, I receive financial penalties. The management cuts my salary, so it becomes even more difficult for me to buy the supplies the following month. So I end up borrowing money in order to be able to do my job.”

Striker عامل مضرب
“We are staging a peaceful strike,” said Abdel Tawab Sheeha, 59, who has been working in the Tanta Flax and Oil Company for 39 years. “The Egyptian government doesn’t understand the culture of peaceful strikes however. They will force us to do other things, to do violence to be heard. They are the ones to blame. No one is hearing our voices out here.”
