Labor Code set to reinforce partnership between social actors

The labor code, adopted this week by the two parliamentary chambers, will enhance partnership between social actors, labor, social affairs and solidarity minister, Mustapha Mansouri, said on Tuesday.

Mansouri told the Moroccan channel "TVM" that the unanimous adoption of the code by the House of Advisers on Monday reflects the consensus between different social actors, especially since the House groups representatives of unions and professionals chambers.

Consensus between social actors was the result of social dialogue and the international context requirements of a modern social legislation capable of attracting foreign investments.

Competition requires strong, structured and organized enterprises and the solidarity of different operators for a better productivity, he added.

The labor code, designed after intensive dialogue between the prime minister and social actors (trade unions and enterprise associations), comes to crown a package of legal reforms meant to upgrade the Moroccan economy and generate jobs by stimulating national and foreign investments.
