Royal Air Maroc Faces Potential Strike as Workers Demand Better Pay and Benefits

Employees of Royal Air Maroc threaten to strike against what they consider a "stagnation of social dialogue" on the part of the airline.

The National Union of Air Transport, affiliated with the Moroccan Labor Union, accuses the RAM management of undermining the unity of their trade union movement. Meetings between the two parties would have only led to unfulfilled promises, they indicate in a statement.

At the heart of the tensions, the staff’s demands revolve around several axes: a global salary revaluation, the implementation of a fair mechanism for the distribution of annual bonuses, the regularization of temporary employees’ positions based on their seniority and an improvement of social benefits.

Furthermore, the union has also denounced what it described as "unilateral measures taken by the RAM management". It expresses its discontent with the deterioration of the social situation within RAM, including "discrimination and wage inequality between different categories of employees, and the granting of exclusive privileges to certain employees to the detriment of others".
