Egypt\'s Socialist Popular Alliance Party and Revolutionary Socialists (RS) have called on workers to join anti-government protests on June 30
.
In a join statement issued on Wednesday morning, the movements said protesters must come together to demand fair wages, suitable working condition and legal protection for workers.
