The city of Meknes is preparing for a series of protests organized by the Democratic Justice Union, reflecting the growing determination of court and judicial center employees to achieve their demands.
This announcement comes in the context of scheduled protest sit-ins and a national strike spanning three days, from October 1 to 3, 2024, coinciding with demonstrations across all courts.
In its latest statement, the Democratic Justice Union confirmed that it would organize protest sit-ins on Monday, September 30, 2024, in all courts and judicial centers. These activities will also include a 72-hour national strike to express employees’ frustration with the ongoing disregard for their demands by the Ministry of Justice. The union emphasized that dialogue with the ministry remains distant.
Key Demands
The union’s primary demands focus on improving the conditions of court clerks and achieving social justice. These include raising salaries and allowances, providing a suitable working environment, and ensuring equality among all employees.
On another note, the Meknes local branch of the union praised the success of the previous strike held in Meknes courts from September 24 to 26, 2024. The local office urged all members to participate actively in the upcoming protests and national strike.
Media and Public Awareness
The union has called on the media to shed light on the employees’ issues and raise public awareness about their legitimate demands. It also stressed that the success of any dialogue with the ministry largely depends on the unified efforts of the media and unions to support employees in this critical sector.
With the potential to paralyze court operations, these protests could mark a crucial moment for the city of Meknes, as employees strive for social justice and better working conditions. The coming days will be pivotal in determining the future relationship between the union and the Ministry of Justice, as everyone looks forward to concrete outcomes for their rightful demands.
