Morocco: Unionized engineers plan nationwide strike May 21

Unionized engineers plan to strike nationwide May 21 over a series of grievances, including low salaries and poor working conditions. Organizers have announced a protest outside the parliament in Rabat from 11:00. Additional demonstrations are possible near government buildings, regional municipality offices, and public squares nationwide.

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.
