The Moroccan government is striving to provide a regulatory and legal framework for the right to strike, as part of a serious, responsible, and participatory dialogue with trade unions, Government Spokesperson Mustapha Baitas said on Thursday in Rabat. Speaking during a press briefing following the Government Council, Baitas stated that after presenting draft organic law n° 97.15, which defines conditions and procedures for exercising the right to strike, discussions would begin today to advance this participatory approach and gather different opinions within the Parliament. Baitas recalled that the organic law on the conditions and procedures for exercising the right to strike is a priority according to the 2011 Constitution. He added that this draft is one of the reform projects the government is working on. He also noted that the government's institutionalization of social dialogue aims to debate fundamental issues of great importance and to consider the demands of trade unions, which primarily concern the working class and its working conditions.
