The Egyptian people are not playing......

(RTTNews) - Fresh demonstrations and strikes were staged across Egypt on Monday by public and private sector employees, just days after an 18-day long upraising ended the 30-year rule of autocrat President Hosni Mubarak in the north African country.

The protesters were demanding higher wages as well as better living and working conditions from the country's military rulers, who were handed power until September elections by outgoing President Mubarak late last week ahead of his forced resignation.

Those staging the demonstrations and strikes in Cairo and other Egyptian cities included bank, tourism, textile, postal, media, oil sector, health care and transport workers, as well as ambulance drivers and police. Most of the protesters blamed their superior officers for what they describe as huge earning gaps in companies and government departments.

immediately on their own, I wouldn't think. They're just caretakers (hopefully) until the people install their own new government. This should be something the new government (whomever that may be) addresses when they take over power.

I DO love that the Egyptian people are taking their time about a new government even though they must be so impatient! They're doing this right. It think they've done this perfectly every step of the way.

Otherwise, I'd dissent.
