The National Association of Employees of Territorial Communities in Morocco criticized what it described as the “negative discrimination” practiced by the government and the Ministry of Interior in dealing with employees of territorial communities compared to employees of other public sectors, accusing the authorities of “ignoring” the demands of this group and delaying the opening of a serious sectoral dialogue for more than six years.
According to the association, the government and the Ministry of Interior have violated the principles of equality and equal opportunities enshrined in the Moroccan Constitution, citing Articles 6, 19, 30, 31, 35, 92 and 154, which prompted it to file a complaint against the Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior.
The association highlighted that the Prime Minister and members of his government pay special attention to social dialogue in sectors such as health, education, justice and finance, where they responded to the demands of their employees, while the employees of the territorial communities remained on the sidelines of this dialogue, despite multiple communications sent by trade union bodies to officials without any tangible response.
In the same context, the association denounced what it described as the “marginalization” of this sector, noting that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior did not react to repeated complaints about the stalled and failed sectoral dialogue for territorial communities, ignoring the recommendations of the 2018 royal speech, which stressed the need to make the social dialogue successful and enhance the purchasing power of the working class.
The association also recalled the royal message addressed to the participants in the Second International Parliamentary Forum for Social Justice, which emphasized that the institutionalization of social dialogue represents a strategic choice for the country since the adoption of the 1962 Constitution, calling on the government to fulfill its commitments in this framework.
The letter concluded by recalling that the Directorate General of Territorial Collectivities signed a protocol of agreement with the sectoral unions in 2019, which stipulated the institutionalization of sectoral dialogue by holding periodic meetings every three months, but this agreement remained a dead letter, without the actual commitment of the Ministry of Interior and the Directorate General of Territorial Collectivities to its contents.
