The National Union of Moroccan Airport Authority employees, affiliated with the General Confederation of Moroccan Workers, has called on the Director-General of the Moroccan Airport Authority to reconsider several rejected requests for training and education licenses. These requests were submitted by employees and staff members of the institution, who claim that they followed the established procedures. The union emphasizes its ongoing commitment to supporting the professional and social issues of the institution's workforce.
The union's request is based on its concern for the development of human resources and the improvement of professional performance within the institution. The union argues that training and education are essential for enhancing employee competencies and career advancement, aligning with the institution's stated policy. According to the union, Moroccan legislation, specifically Article 23 of the Labor Code and Law No. 60.17, guarantees employees the right to continuous training.
The union's communication to the Director-General highlights that the institution's basic law requires obtaining a prior license before initiating training. The union believes that allowing employees to pursue education and training should not be treated as a mere administrative privilege but rather as an investment in the institution's human capital. This investment can contribute to developing competencies, improving performance, and opening up opportunities for promotion and professional growth.
The union has raised questions about the reasons behind the rejection of several requests without clear explanations of the legal and regulatory basis for these decisions. The union argues that this situation raises legitimate concerns about the conditions and procedures for processing these requests and the consistency of their application among different employees.
In response to these concerns, the union has made several demands to the management, including the reconsideration of all rejected requests and providing explanations for the rejections. The union also calls for the adoption of unified, transparent, and fair criteria for processing employee requests, ensuring equal opportunities and non-discrimination.
The union emphasizes that encouraging employees to develop their scientific and professional qualifications should be part of a proactive policy, especially given the transformations in the aviation and airport sectors. The union stresses the need for fair and transparent application of rules and procedures to balance the institution's needs with employees' legitimate rights to develop their competencies.
The union has requested that the Director-General intervene with the relevant authorities to reconsider the rejected requests and ensure a clear and fair approach for all employees. The outcome of this request remains to be seen, but the union's efforts highlight the ongoing challenges and negotiations between employee representatives and management in Moroccan institutions.
