The changes to the Bio law No. 97.15 After the right to strike were examined on Friday during a meeting in the House of Council in the presence of the Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Society, employment and skills, Younes Sekkouri. The discussions focused on adding a preamble, the definition of the strike and the categories that deal with the exercise.
If several unions have campaigned for the insertion of a preamble to clarify the fundamental principles of strike rights and align themselves with international conventions, this proposal was rejected by the majority of the council members after consultation with the government. Instead, Sekkouri proposed to expand legal consultations in order to achieve an amicable wording.
With regard to the definition of the strike (Article 2), several changes were accepted, including the recognition of moral rights under the valid reasons and the integration of new categories of employees. Article 3, on the other hand, was the subject of adjustments to the concept of “freedom of work”, with a definition indicating the cases.
In a press release, Sekkouri praised a climate of the constructive dialogue between the government, unions and parliamentary representatives and emphasized that the draft law developed in order to reconcile the interests of employees and the employer.
