The Secretary-General of the Moroccan Union of Labor (UMT), Miloudi Moukharik, accused the government of seeking to withdraw from the social agreement signed on April 25. In a statement to the online newspaper Hespress, the official said that the government does not take seriously the content of the social agreement stating that it has refrained from publishing a series of decrees on the implementation of the agreement and especially those concerning the increase of family allowances for the private sector.
The Secretary-General of the UMT recalled that the Administrative Council of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) had to meet to make the decision and issue the decree except that the government has preferred to wait for the ordinary meeting at end of the month of July. In addition, the practices of the government demonstrate a total disinterest in the agreement, according to the UMT which pointed out that the minimum wage increase was decided via ministerial decree, has not yet been published, and it was not informed by the input of unions and bosses.
The collective agreement also included a general increase in the salaries of state officials, an increase that has not yet come into effect (with the increase in family allowances for the private sector and the increase in the minimum wage).
