The bill was introduced in parliament in 2016, and provides for a deduction from the striker’s salary the number of days in which they stop working, as well as prohibiting strikes on political grounds.
In this context, a member of the General Union of Moroccan Workers (UGTM) expressed in the dialogue committee, in a statement to a local TV channel, the union’s refusal to consider the strike a collective cessation from work, but rather as “a right and a constitutional mechanism given to workers.”
The Moroccan government is seeking, through dialogue with the unions over the strike bill, to reach a compromise that takes into account the interests of both parties, to introduce amendments in Parliament.
