The Quadripartite Trade Union Coordination of Local Communities announced its return to protest during the current month of September, in the context of “following the unfortunate trend of the outcomes of the sectoral dialogue and assessing the general situation in the collective sector.”
The coordination explained in a statement that the decision to return to protest comes
“In continuation of the battle to defend the just and legitimate demands of the sector’s workers, and the right to a radical change in the situation that ends the workers’ suffering and raises their material and professional conditions to the level of the rest of the public service sectors.”
The coordination bodies stated that September is “a decisive and crucial date for closing the process of the national sectoral social dialogue in the territorial communities,” and that without that, it is “an explicit declaration of its collapse and failure, and thus the sector’s readiness for more congestion and tension.”
In a related context, the coordination criticized “the disruption of dialogue mechanisms through procrastination and stalling, by postponing it many times, reneging on its principles, emptying it of its usefulness, and burdening it with marathon meetings,” stressing that “the sectoral social dialogue, by its faltering nature, has only produced more suffering, loss of confidence, and deterioration of the conditions of thousands of employees, both male and female, in the collective sector.”
The coordination stopped at what it called the failure of “the Interior Ministry’s scenario of betting on investing more flimsy profits for a time taken from the life, sweat and effort of the collective workers, the workers of delegated management and national recovery, and the casual workers, circumventing their constitutional rights and confiscating their freedoms.”
The aforementioned trade union bodies concluded that “the ongoing dialogue with representatives of the Ministry of Interior in the General Directorate of Territorial Communities has become, with its adopted methodology, without a horizon,” holding both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior responsible for the “stumbling blocks and procrastination” experienced by the sectoral dialogue.
Accordingly, the same unions called on the government and the Ministry of Interior to “intervene quickly to restore things to their proper place and ensure a dialogue in a positive atmosphere and spirit,” stressing “the need to respond to the demands and aspirations of all workers in the sector, as in other public sectors (…) under the pressure of deteriorating purchasing power, rising prices, the cost of living in general, and low wages.”

**Morocco’s Labor Unrest: A Cry for Change**
Morocco’s Labor Unrest: A Cry for Change
In Morocco, the labor movement is gaining momentum as trade unions demand better working conditions, higher wages, and social justice. The Quadripartite Trade Union Coordination of Local Communities has announced its return to protest in September, citing the government’s failure to meet the demands of workers in the collective sector. This move comes on the heels of a series of protests and strikes that have rocked the country in recent months.
The Background
Morocco’s labor landscape has been marked by unrest and discontent in recent years. In 2024, unionized health workers planned a nationwide strike and protests to demand better working conditions and higher wages [[3]]. This move was seen as a warning shot to the government, which has been accused of neglecting the needs of workers in the public sector.
The Current Situation
The Quadripartite Trade Union Coordination of Local Communities has expressed its frustration with the government’s handling of the sectoral dialogue, which has been marked by procrastination and stalling. The coordination has accused the government of reneging on its principles and emptying the dialogue of its usefulness [[1]]. As a result, thousands of employees in the collective sector have seen their working conditions deteriorate, with many suffering from low wages and poor working conditions.
The Demands
The trade union coordination is demanding a radical change in the situation to end the suffering of workers in the collective sector. They are calling for higher wages, better working conditions, and social justice for all workers. The coordination has also criticized the government’s investment in “flimsy profits” at the expense of workers’ lives, sweat, and effort [[2]].
The Way Forward
The labor movement in Morocco is calling for a new economic paradigm that prioritizes the needs of workers and the collective sector. The government must take immediate action to address the grievances of workers and restore their confidence in the sectoral dialogue. Failure to do so could lead to more congestion and tension in the sector, which could have far-reaching consequences for the economy and society as a whole.
Conclusion
Morocco’s labor unrest is a cry for change that cannot be ignored. The government must take concrete steps to address the demands of workers and restore social justice to the collective sector. The labor movement will continue to fight for the rights of workers, and it is up to the government to respond to their demands and prevent further unrest. By embracing a new economic paradigm that prioritizes the needs of workers, Morocco can create a more just and equitable society for all.
