This desire to reach a consensus “comes from the government’s firm conviction in the importance of adopting a participatory approach, in line with the results of social dialogue”, noted the minister during the general examination of the said bill within the Social Sectors Committee in the House of Representatives.
In this regard, he recalled the High Royal Guidelines in this area “to strengthen the principles of justice and equal opportunities”, highlighting the Royal call “to initiate broad consultations” on this subject.
On the other hand, the minister announced that meetings are planned in the coming days with the social partners to continue the debate around this organic bill, welcoming “the important steps taken in the examination of this text and the rapprochement of points of view”.
Noting that the social partners have “fundamental observations and amendments” on this text, he noted that “consultations are underway on the articles which require careful examination, in particular, with regard to sanctions and categories prohibited from striking”.
After assuring that the government “is approaching this issue seriously, given its importance in protecting workers and strengthening social peace”, Mr. Sekkouri indicated that the human rights framework was taken into account in the development of this text, which, he said, “is not the prerogative of the government alone, but concerns all of society, including social partners”.
The minister also welcomed the commitment of all components of parliament in the debate around this bill, welcoming the unanimity regarding the importance of this text, “which is part of the context of the consecration of the social State, which is the guarantor of citizens’ rights, and ensures that social disparities are remedied and a balance is ensured between employees and employers.
