Morocco: Unionized civil servants plan nationwide strike May 14

Unionized civil servants plan to strike nationwide May 14 over a series of grievances, including low salaries and poor working conditions. Organizers have announced a protest outside the Ministry for Digital Transition and Administration Reform in Rabat. The start time of the action is unclear. Additional demonstrations are possible near government buildings, regional municipality offices, and public squares nationwide.

The strike will likely disrupt public and governmental services across the country. Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near protest locations. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
