In response to the Moroccan government’s decision to miss social security clinics, the National Syndicate for Social Security Users of the Moroccan Labor Union issued a statement denouncing the efforts made by the clinics and their contribution to providing health services in Morocco with a quality attested by all actors in the health sector.
The Syndicate said that it considers this decision a failed attempt similar to its predecessors and is contrary to the royal directives to give priority to the health sector.
Therefore, The Syndicate expressed its categorical rejection to any threat to the workers’ property, considering that these clinics are not subject to privatization, as stated by the royal arbitration in the eighties of the last century. It reiterated its assertion that social security clinics are the property of the working class and established with their savings to serve the insured, their families and the general population, and was and is still a lever for improving health sector services.
The text of the statement warned the public administration and the guardian authorities against the repercussions of solely taking the decision regarding the fate of these clinics, insisting on ignoring the union’s representation of employees and workers.
The Syndicate also renewed its determination to confront such unpopular and non-social decisions aimed at liquidating the clinics and ending the gains of the working class as well as the general population, affirming their commitment to defending the rights and interests of employees and their workers by resorting to all the legitimate forms of struggle.
In the conclusion of its statement, the Syndicate held the Public Administration responsible for the consequences of such decisions and the tension that would result from their part within the institution as well as the impact of such decisions on the social peace within it and on the normal functioning of services within all clinics, central and regional affiliates, and social units of the National Social Security Fund.
The Syndicate finally called on all executives, employees, and workers in clinics, central and regional affiiates, and social units for more unity, mobilization and broad engagement in this fateful struggle station in order to counter all attempts to undermine the gains of the working class.
