Some forty Algerian broadcast journalists on Sunday (March 7th) mounted a hunger strike and sit-in to protest low wages and what they claim to be unfair working conditions, Tout sur l'Algerie reported. El Bahdja Radio, Radio Quran and Takafa Radio reporters are paid on a freelance basis and are not allowed paid time off, a union source said. "In short, they have only duties and no rights," the source added. The National Federation of Algerian Journalists (FNJA) will rally in Algiers on Monday to support their colleagues. The strike is the first for Algerian national radio, El Watan noted.
