The social dialogue meetings between trade union centres in Morocco and the government, which started weeks ago, have been stopped and the professional and social files raised by the unions have been stopped as well, which foreshadows the emergence of a new social crisis and tension
Unions consider that these meetings in themselves did not live up to the social dialogue, which refers to the non-earnestness and lack of awareness of the government in dealing with outstanding social issues and resolving them. However, this happens at a time, which was supposed to raise the pace of social dialogue in order to integrate the workers’ and people requirements in the finance Bill of 2018.
It is noteworthy that Moroccos trade unions call for a general increase in wages and compensation, the application of the escalating wage and price ladder, the increase in the minimum wage and its unification in the agricultural and industrial sectors. Moreover, they call for reducing tax pressure on wages, increasing pensions, implementing the labour code, opening sectoral and local negotiations, mainstreaming social security ,guaranteeing public services by the state and enacting a social policy to protect unemployment.
