ITF calls for government intervention in Morocco port dispute
The ITF is calling on the president of Morocco to intervene in an ongoing dispute at the Port of Casablanca.
Management at Somaport terminal is trying to impose new ways of working that are not in line with the collective bargaining agreement negotiated between them and the ITF-affiliated SNTP/UMT dockers’ union.
Management is now using intimidation against union members, including dismissing one worker and suspending another. This is considered to be in breach of Moroccan labour law and to violate the rights of workers.
