Marrakech Faces Waste Crisis as Garbage Collectors Threaten Strike Over Working Conditions

According to Al Akhbar, which depicts a critical situation in the cleaning and household waste collection sub-sector in the ochre city, these workers are angry and want to make it known.

At the root of the problem are the deemed unworthy working conditions, the non-compliance with the specifications, and the dismissal without explanation of about 70 garbage collectors by a company operating in the city.

As a result, some workers, particularly those from the "Arma" company, have initiated a protest movement, ranging from wearing black armbands starting tomorrow, Monday, to a 48-hour renewable strike, as well as a sit-in on Tuesday in front of the headquarters of the Marrakech city council.

This new protest project follows the one from last month, which already denounced the same ills, the newspaper recalls.
