Over 80% of Moroccan print media journalists observed strike, union

More than 80% of the Moroccan print media journalists observed a strike on Friday, the Moroccan Press Union (SNPM) said. The rate reached 100% in some dailies, SNPM Secretary-General, Younes Moujahid, told the press. The strike was meant to put pressure on employers to improve the journalists moral and material situation.

Some press organizations tried to hamper the strike through dissuading their reporters, Moujahid said, adding that some dailies were published with the collaboration of a very limited number of newsmen and trainees.
