Aziz Akhannouch is set to meet with union leaders on Thursday in the first sessions of the inter-dialogue that seeks to examine price spikes of consumer goods and fuel during the last period.
The Unions brought into the discussion with Akhannouch issues related to the protection of the purchasing power of all citizens and finding solutions to wage stagnation offset by inflation.
The meeting will also discuss laws on retirement, unions, and strikes.
“This first session of t will be foundational, clarifying the methodology and details of subsequent dates,” said Miloudy Mokharek, Secretary-General of the Moroccan Labor Union, stressing that “the union goes with a sincere intention to a dialogue that produces contracts.”
“The wellbeing and social conditions of the working class are the first points of discussion, especially after the recent increases, as the purchasing power of the simple has greatly declined,” Mokharek added.
The union leader added that “the government is required to take concrete measures that solve the problems of many groups.”
Though it said measures are underway to support consumers, the government admits that its actions may not be sufficient to counterbalance high global prices and import fees.
In 2022, the freshly appointed government plans to spend 17 billion dirhams to continue subsidizing key products such as wheat and butane gas.
