Morocco : local government workers on strike on October 8

The National Federation of Local Workers and Officials , under the Moroccan Workers’ Union (UMT), called for a general strike on 8 October.

The strike was decreed to call for the activation of regional dispute resolution committees and to give them all the necessary prerogatives to impose agreed solutions and resolve the situation of graduate officials while ensuring stability, continuity, compensation for hard work and pollution, broadening of beneficiaries and inclusion in remuneration elements.

The strikers also call for the creation of an indemnity for the risks of the trade (for nurses and ambulance drivers) and an indemnity for civil liability for collectors, workers following the works, agents of civil registration offices and legalised signatures.
