Moroccan courts will be paralyzed from Tuesday due to the national strike of clerks, members of the Democratic Federation of Labor, the Democratic Confederation of Labor and the National Union of Labor in Morocco. The strikers are protesting their working conditions and demanding the implementation of their status.

National Strikes Begin

Clerks began strikes last week, covering all courts and judicial centers in the kingdom, as well as regional directorates and regional conservation centers. The Democratic Justice, the National Union of Justice and the National Union of the Justice Sector confirmed, in separate statements, that the national strike will begin on Tuesday in all courts, judicial centers, regional directorates and regional conservation centers.

Clear Demands of the Strikers

The strikers are demanding the implementation of the status of court clerks, following an agreement between the unions and the Ministry of Justice. They are also demanding improved work allowances, adequate working conditions, including risk insurance and travel allowances. Recognition of their essential role in the judicial system is also a priority for the unions.

The unions blame the Ministry of Justice and the government for not resolving this crisis, calling for the opening of a serious dialogue to satisfy their legitimate demands.

Impact on the Judicial System

Court clerks are essential to the proper functioning of the justice system. Their work is crucial to ensuring the smooth running of judicial proceedings. Frustration with the slow pace of reforms and the lack of official recognition has led to this massive mobilization. The unions stress that the current working conditions are unacceptable and are detrimental to the efficiency of the justice system.

Waiting for Government Response

The Ministry of Justice has not yet provided an official response to the demands of the registry employees. The unions hope that a constructive dialogue can be established to find a rapid and satisfactory solution to this crisis.

In the meantime, courts across the country are preparing to operate at reduced capacity, which could result in significant delays in the processing of court cases. Citizens are therefore encouraged to anticipate these disruptions in their legal proceedings.

The situation remains tense and the outcome of the negotiations is uncertain. The strikers remain determined to obtain concrete improvements in their working conditions and do not seem ready to give in without obtaining substantial guarantees from the government and the Ministry of Justice.
