Morocco’s Road Transport Union, affiliated with the Moroccan Labour Union, warned of a worsening crisis in the sector after two recent fuel price increases, calling on the government to open urgent talks with the most representative unions and professional bodies to address rising operating costs.
In a statement reported by Hespress, the union said the economic and social pressures facing transport operators were threatening service stability and the sector’s financial balance.
It called for sustainable solutions to the surge in energy costs, including a cap on fuel prices to shield road transport workers from sharp market swings as the war in the Middle East enters its second month.
The union also demanded a temporary suspension of the domestic consumption tax on fuel until international prices stabilise. It rejected reported plans to raise vehicle insurance premiums, warning that such a move would deal “a new blow” to operators and could push many into bankruptcy. The union said it would meet again on April 26 to consider further organisational and protest steps.
