The controversial Organic Law No. 97.15, which defines the conditions and procedures for exercising the right to strike, has reached its final legislative stage. The Social Sectors Committee in the House of Representatives approved the bill by a majority vote on Tuesday, in a second reading following its passage in the House of Councillors, with a minor clerical correction.
The bill secured 11 votes in favor and 7 against, with no abstentions. It will now proceed to a plenary session for a final vote before becoming law upon its publication in the Official Gazette.
This legislation is the last of the organic laws mandated by Morocco’s 2011 Constitution. It was referred to the Social Sectors Committee on Monday in accordance with legislative procedures, following its approval by the upper house with a majority vote. However, the session saw the withdrawal of the Moroccan Labor Union (UMT) parliamentary group in protest.
