(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The employees of the Egyptian Radio and TV Union are currently staging a sit in inside the building of the Egyptian national TV headquarters (Maspero) demanding that Osama Heikal, the current minister of information, step down from his position.
The protesters started their sit in after news was leaked that the maximum and minimum wage structure, which Major General Tarek El-Mahdy set, was going to be cancelled and that newly appointed Minister of Information Osama Heikal was going to appoint Samir El-Siyad, the head of the news sector, as the new head of the Egyptian Radio and TV Union, instead of Major General Tarek El-Mahdy.
Supreme Council of the Armed Forces member (SCAF) Major General Tarek El-Mahdy had been assigned to head the national Egyptian Radio and TV Union since the end of February 2011.
The angry demonstrating employees are demanding that Tarek El-Mahdy becomes minister of information.
