The union representing RAM Handling, a subsidiary of Royal Air Maroc responsible for ground handling operations, is threatening a nationwide strike. This comes after they rejected a wage offer from the company, which they consider inadequate.
The union, affiliated with the Moroccan Labor Union, met to discuss working conditions and employee demands. They believe the company’s offer for wage increases and benefits is insufficient, particularly as the cost of living rises due to inflation.
Union demands include fair wage increases to address inflation, improved incentive programs and bonuses, better working conditions and social protections, and an end to “arbitrary” employee transfers.
RAM Handling management maintains they offered a raise, but the union deems it “meager.” Management also argues some union demands are unrelated to improving social conditions and wages. Additionally, they emphasize their commitment to maintaining open communication with the union.
This strike threat adds to a growing trend of labor actions in Morocco. Workers across various sectors demand improvements in pay and benefits to cope with inflation’s impact on purchasing power.
The situation could disrupt air travel in Morocco. Passengers flying through Moroccan airports should monitor the situation for updates on potential strikes.
