Moroccan Labor Inspectors Launch Nationwide Strike Over Unmet Demands
Saturday 14 November 2020, by
In Morocco, labor inspectors began a strike on November 4 that will continue until November 20. They accuse Employment Minister Mohamed Amekraz of "prevaricating" in the face of their list of demands.
The Moroccan Association of Labor Inspectors (AMIT), the National Union of Inspectors and Officials of the Ministry of Labor affiliated with the Moroccan Labor Union (UMT), the General Union of Moroccan Workers (UGTM), the Democratic Confederation of Labor (CDT) and the Democratic Labor Federation (FDT) are the initiators of this strike. They say they are satisfied with the strong mobilization of labor inspectors and the success of the first days of the strike. According to them, the strike was followed 100% by the majority of regional and provincial directorates.
The coordination committee denounces the actions of the regional director of labor and vocational integration in Casablanca against the general secretary of the National Union of Inspectors and Officials of the Ministry of Labor, a member of this committee, reports Al Massae. Labor inspectors accuse Mr. Amekraz of "prevarication" in the face of their list of demands, but also of random management of the sector. Based on the prerogatives recorded in the social agreement signed on April 25, 2019, they call on the Head of Government, Saâdeddine El Otmani to intervene.
