Higher education union calls for June 17–18 strike over delayed staff statute

Higher education union calls for June 17–18 strike over delayed staff statute
Tuesday 17 June 2025 - 12:04

The National Office of the Union of Higher Education and University Housing Staff, affiliated with the Democratic Confederation of Labour (CDT), has called for a “Dignity Strike” on June 17–18, 2025. 

The action aims to pressure the government into finalizing a long-delayed new statute for higher education employees. 

In a statement, the union urged all staff to join a protest outside the Ministry of Higher Education in Rabat on June 18 at 10 a.m., denouncing what it described as “stalling tactics, empty dialogue, and evasive promises” by the ministry.

The union also condemned the ministry’s “disrespectful behavior” toward CDT delegates and criticized the lack of a clear timeline for adopting the statute or engaging with key ministries. 

Frustration over delays and vague communication has fueled uncertainty and distrust among sector employees. 

The CDT emphasized that meaningful reform must include a fair, motivating framework that addresses professional, financial, and social conditions.
