Moroccan Airport Workers Demand Guarantees Ahead of Privatization

Employees of the National Airports Office (ONDA) are demanding assurances regarding their rights and involvement as the organization prepares to transition into a joint-stock company. Unions representing airport technicians, firefighters, and administrative staff have jointly called for participation in the project that will restructure ONDA.

The unified national offices of airport technicians, firefighters, and ONDA staff, affiliated with the Democratic Confederation of Labour (CDT), stressed that this decision marks a pivotal moment in the institution's history. They insist on being included in discussions about the transformation, emphasizing that their input is crucial for a smooth and equitable transition.

These unions argue that the planned privatization could significantly impact the future of the institution and its workforce. They are seeking clear guarantees to protect workers' interests and ensure their continued role within the new corporate structure. The demand for involvement underscores the employees' desire to shape the future of ONDA rather than be passive subjects of its restructuring.
