"Contractors" complain of deductions due to strikes

The plight of the contracting professors has continued with continuous fees for years due to the strikes against the work that their national coordination calls for, in defense of the demand for integration in the public office..

The contracting professors who inspected their bank accounts complained of financial deductions that ranged between 800 and 1,200 dirhams, many of them exhausted, given the expenses of living and some in the obligations of "housing and mobility" and others.

Academic professors receive a clear monthly wage of 5669 dirhams, but this month he reached their bank accounts..

The wages of every day are deducted from an unjustified absence or a strike by about 190 dirhams, after the director of the educational institution prepares the "absentees' list" and sends it to the relevant regional directorate.

The "contracting professors" are betting on the strikes of school principals and educational institutions in order not to send the strikers' regulations to the directorates to avoid deductions in the coming months..

And the application of the principle of wage for work and deduction from the wages of the strikers has been in force since the government of Abdel -Ilah Benkirane, despite the delay in discussing the draft regulatory law related to the practice of the right to strike, which has been stuck in Parliament for years.

The unions consider that deduction from the wages of the strikers touch the strike as a constitutional right.On the other hand, the previous government justified this principle with "the large number of strikes in sensitive fields", including dirt groups, education and health..

Mohamed Bulanwar, a member of the Information Committee of the National Coordination of Professors who were forced to contract, said that the deductions concerned all the regions of Morocco, and reached 1,200 dirhams from the fare of last month, indicating that the absence of the reaction is due to the circumstance of the exams.

"After passing the regional and national tests, the professors will interact with the ministry's excesses, and an escalating program has been undergone with a national landing at the level of Marrakech in July.".

The union actor considered that the deductions of wages are "an illegal act", recording that it is a "real theft prohibited by the power of laws, foremost of which is the constitution", and he said: "There is serious thinking in resorting to the administrative judiciary in order to end the ordeal of professors".

Boulanwar revealed in his speech to Hespress that "the deductions have returned again since September 2020 and continuing to the limits of the moment without having any legal justification, despite all guarantees to exercise the right to strike.".
