Morocco: Unionized health workers on nationwide strike through June 6

Unionized health workers are striking nationwide through June 6 over a series of grievances, including low salaries and poor working conditions. Organizers have called for protests during the strike; demonstrations are likely outside hospitals, regional health directorates, and public squares nationwide.

The strike will likely affect nonemergency health services at hospitals; facilities will continue to provide emergency treatment. Increased security and localized transport disruptions are probable near any protests that materialize during the strike period. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
