Labor Unions in Morocco

Monday, February 8, 2010

I think Morocco needs labor unions because we are a democratic country, and we need labor unions to defend the interest of the workers. And we have to support the small and medium companies so that there won't be lots of strikes. We need to respect the works code (Code de Travaille). When a company goes over ten people they automatically elect a delegate chosen by the workers. It is the only interlocutor between the workers and the boss. He defends the rights of the workers, however he respects the company where he works. Also, we need labor unions to not have chaotic relationships between the workers and the boss, and work in a light atmosphere. For example, there is a strike today (Monday 8th, 2010) concerning the transportation in general. It was decided by a labor union, first with an assembly, second they send an official statement to warn the authorities (minister of transportation, department of interior, the locality), and the citizens. Another example, is that in some companies people do get too much work hours, and they do not get payed on time. In this situation a labor union should try and solve the problem. Or, a bigger problem out of this small problem might arise. I think that in general every country should have labor unions because they are essential to keep a peaceful atmosphere in the environmental business.
