Moroccan labor union protests

Overview

Labor unions affiliated with the Confédération Démocratique du Travail (CDT) in Morocco have initiated various regional protests to address economic, administrative, and civil rights concerns.

In the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region, taxi professionals threatened protests to demand relief from accumulated debts and penalties owed to the National Social Security Fund. Their grievances included calls for improved social protection, fairer fuel subsidies, and the formal regulation of labor contracts to combat job insecurity.

Subsequent actions expanded to include university employees and educators. At Sultan Moulay Slimane University, staff protested against administrative stagnation, unpaid entitlements, and frozen salary increases. In the Boulemane province, the National Union of Education organized protests to defend the right to collective expression following allegations of targeted harassment against union activists.
