Workers' rights violations

Workers excluded from labour protections

In Morocco, certain categories of public employees were still denied the right to freedom of association, such as judges.

Dismissals for participating in strike action

In Morocco, in June 2022, workers at the company Business Casablanca 2S, a subsidiary of the multinational Comdata Group which provides services to outsource customer interactions, organised a half-day strike to express their demands about low pay and lack of purchasing power. Most of the 1,400 workers of the company are affiliated with the Union Marocaine du Travail (UMT). As a result of this strike, seven unionised employees were fired. They were also criminally charged for their union activities.
