Adedy said the strike alongside the private sector was "a reply to the financial problems of supplementary pension funds, the changes in the new salary scale that are coming as a follow-up to painful cuts in benefits but also the [loss of the] 13th and 14th salaries".
It also decided a three-hour nationwide work stoppage from 11:30 a.m. until the end of the shift for the public sector on February 10, a day on which the union had originally announced a 24-hour strike.
Adedy will also organised protest demonstrations at public-sector social insurance funds on that day and will cooperate with other trade unions and groups in holding rallies to protest against high prices and price hikes in basic goods - including public transport fares - in early February.
