The Moroccan government launched a new round of negotiations between with the representatives of the trade union and customs representatives to reach a final agreement on the raising of wages and adjusting the purchasing power of the Moroccan citizen.
During the negotiations that took place before the Labour Day, the government had proposed an increase in wages of up to $ 30 over three years in favor of the employees earning less than $ 520 monthly. However, this proposal was rejected by the Moroccan trade union centers that demanded an increase of between $40 and $60 for all the workers whose wages have not been raised for seven years.
It is noteworthy that the government has committed itself to reach an agreement in the previous negotiations, bearing 1% of the contributions of employees in the Moroccan Pension Fund of next year, but the trade union centers rejected this and considered as it does not meet the ambitions of the Moroccan working class, as long as it does not include all the employees. In addition, the private sector has made no concession in relation to wage increases and called for improving the incomes through taxation.
On the other hand, observers believe that the new president of business, who is asking for a new charter for development and employment, that will seek to extract fiscal gifts for businessmen through the next finance law and get a commitment to amend the labour law and enact the strike law before making any commitment to the wage earners in the private sector.
