Rabat, Morocco – A preliminary agreement has emerged between the Moroccan government and the most representative trade unions in the employment sector regarding the final draft of the special statute for the Labor Inspectorate body. This consensus follows intensive rounds of sectoral social dialogue.
Mr. Younes Sekkouri, Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, chaired a new round of dialogue on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, with the three most representative unions in the sector: the National Federation of Labor (affiliated with the General Union of Workers of Morocco), the National Union for Employment (under the umbrella of the Democratic Confederation of Labor), and the National Federation of Employment Sector Employees (affiliated with the National Union of Labor in Morocco).
During the meeting, Minister Sekkouri confirmed that the new statute will incorporate the various demands expressed by the social partners. These demands include a comprehensive review of the current decree’s provisions concerning compensation for inspection tours, aiming to provide greater incentives for inspection staff and value their vital field duties.
A ministry statement reported that it was agreed to form a joint committee. This committee will include representatives from the administration and the three unions, and will be tasked with drafting the final version of the decree. It was emphasized that this drafting will take into account the broad outlines agreed upon during previous negotiation rounds.
A timeframe of no more than four weeks has also been set to reach a joint and final vision for the project. This timeframe aims to prepare the project for presentation at the next session of central social dialogue.
The statement noted that this negotiation round is a continuation of previous meetings held by the Minister on April 11, 18, 19, and 22, 2025. During those meetings, the Minister stressed the utmost importance of reviewing the Labor Inspectorate’s statute. This review aims to enhance the body’s standing and keep pace with ongoing legislative and regulatory transformations in the employment sector, particularly within the framework of implementing the government’s employment roadmap.
This latest agreement reflects the government’s keenness to strengthen the roles of the Labor Inspectorate and provide suitable conditions for its work, serving the stability of the labor market and ensuring the application of labor laws.
