I get 100 pounds daily on a 26-day basis, and 500 pounds as a basic salary\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed out that if he worked a full month, he would get 3,300 pounds, of which 2,000 pounds are left for him after deducting his daily expenses at a rate of 50 pounds a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ali added, \u201cThe company sends contracts every while that we sign without objection. Everyone knows that whoever tries to raise employment problems would be fired. One time, we tried to protest, and the result was the dismissal of some while others are imprisoned\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A technical assistant working at a gas company also said that his daily pay is 80 pounds, and any day of absence is deducted from the pay, as there are no emergency, regular or sick leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said, \u201cOne time, I fell from the scaffold and broke my foot. I had to stay at home for a month. However, these days&#8217; wages were deducted from my pay and I did not even get a work injury compensation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs there is no housing available near the project site, we are forced to travel daily from our places of residence, which costs us about 30 pounds in&nbsp; transportation. Adding to that the cost of breakfast and lunch, the daily expenses reach 50 pounds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiN5-i8nYXwAhUl8LsIHezpCE0QFjAAegQIBBAD&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.petroleum.gov.eg%2Fen%2FPages%2FHomePage.aspx&amp;usg=AOvVaw1wofUhfUieYQ4-UBopneC8\">Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources<\/a> confirmed the continuation of the delivery of natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnreport.com\/egypt-raises-gas-production\/\">gas <\/a>to about 1.2 million housing units during the fiscal year 2020\/2021, indicating that the implementation rates exceed the target date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egyptian gas companies are facing accusations of exploiting day laborers and violating their rights, amid compelling living conditions for contractual workers.
