Organizers behind Morocco’s petition to abolish the permanent GMT+1 time system are seeking support from trade unions to expand signature collection, framing the issue as a labor and social concern.

The national committee leading the initiative has begun outreach to major unions, starting with the Democratic confideration, arguing that the “additional hour” has direct impacts on workers’ health, working conditions and work life balance.

Petition coordinator Mohcine El Oudouari said the May 1 Labor Day mobilization offers a key opportunity to reach large numbers of workers and accelerate the signature campaign.

The committee is asking unions to facilitate contact between organizers and members to streamline collection efforts.

Union representatives signaled support for the initiative, citing widespread dissatisfaction with the time system among workers.
