The Moroccan government’s official spokesman announced that it may find itself obliged to carry out its commitments without reaching an agreement with the unions, "in order to redress citizens", revealing that the government will integrate the raising of social family compensation in the draft fiscal law of 2019, in a unilateral step and the fragmentation of the file submitted by the unions.
The government’s proposal, rejected by the unions, included an increase in the income of public sector employees, whose annual cost was estimated at more than 6.4 billion dirhams, including the increase of 300 dirhams per month for employees and workers whose rank ranges from 6 to 10 over three years in addition to raising the maternity grant, family compensation and compensation for remote areas.
The official spokesman pointed out that the deduction of family compensation for public sector employees depends on the state. While, the private sector should wait for the administrative council of the National Social Security Fund, that will be held this month in order to make the final decision on the issue of unilateral activation.
On the other hand, the unions warned of the danger of fragmentation of the file through the government's start to activate the increase in family compensation without prior agreement with trade union centers, which have raised the demands that remained suspending from 2012 to 2018.
Trade union sources said that the government's intention was simply to try to ignore the demands of the long-awaited workers, which could lead to further social congestion in a time of tension.
