The congestion continues in the Kingdom’s courts, with the announcement of a new strike that may paralyze work there.

In this context, the National Office of the National Union of the Justice Sector, under the banner of the National Union of Labor in Morocco, announced a national strike in the central administration and in the various courts of the Kingdom and judicial centers and in the sub-directorates and in the preservation and archive centers, on Wednesday and Thursday, September 18 and 19, 2024, as well as on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 24, 25 and 26, 2024.

The union office clarified in a statement its adherence to approving the amendment of the basic system of the registry body and amending the special account decree, in a way that achieves motivation and protection. And in a way that does justice to the engineers of the sector, in light of the university’s memorandum addressed to the Minister of Justice since May 2, 2024, renewing its call to the government to respond urgently to its legitimate and fair demands as the optimal solution to avoid the continuation of the congestion and its repercussions on the justice system.
