Interim Report - Report No 214, March 1982

Case No 1054 (Morocco) - Complaint date: 23-JUN-81 - Closed

1. 643. In communications dated 23 June, 23 July, 9 September and 3 December 1981, respectively, the Democratic Confederation of Labour (CDT), the World Confederation of Labour (WCL), the World Federation of Teachers' Unions (RISE) and the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) presented complaints of infringement of trade union rights in Morocco. For their part, the World Confederation of Organisations of the Teaching Profession (WCOTP) and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), in letters dated 25 August and 13 October, stated that they support the complaint presented by the Democratic Confederation of Labour. Moreover, the World Federation of Teachers' Unions and the CDT sent information further to their complaints on 2 November and 25 December 1981.
2. 644. After the first complaints were received, the international Labour office asked the Government, in a letter of 18 August 1981, to communicate its intentions regarding the possibility of an on-the-spot mission being carried out by a representative of the Director-General.
3. 645. At its November 1981 session, the Committee on Freedom of Association, in the absence of a reply from the Government, asked it as a matter of urgency to supply its observations as well as a reply to the request for an on-the-spot mission. Since then, the Government has forwarded its observations in communications dated 3 and 22 December 1981 and also 14 January 1982.
4. 646. Morocco has not ratified the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), but has ratified the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98).

A. The complainants' allegations

1. 647. All the complainants refer in their communications to the events which occurred on 20 June 1981 when the Democratic Confederation of Labour, which claims to be the most representative organisation in Morocco, had organised a general strike throughout the country. The CDT explains in its complaint that the strike call, which was widely heeded by the workers, followed several attempts to open a constructive and responsible dialogue with the Government. A. list of demands was presented to the Prime Minister, calling essentially for a general wage increase of 50 per cent on account of the steep rise in the prices of essential commodities (from 14 to 74 per cent); an increase in the minimum wage to 1,200 dinars; guaranteed employment and respect for trade union rights; and an end to dismissals and the reinstatement of dismissed workers.
2. 648. According to the CDT, the Government refused to start consultations with the workers' representatives, and consequently the CDT, in accordance with article 14 of the national Constitution expressly recognising the right to strike, called a general strike. The CDT specifies hat the purpose of the strike was not agitation or incitement to violence but the assertion of the workers' rights and the opening of a dialogue.
3. 649. The CDT states that repressive measures were taken against its leaders as soon as the general strike was notified on 11 June and were intensified on 18 June when the CDT premises were surrounded by the police and a large number of the leaders were arrested. According to the CDT, the repression continued throughout the 19th, with a wave of intimidations, police shadowings, watches kept on the homes of militants and open threats on radio and television against the workers, some of whom were forced to give written promises not to strike.
4. 650. On the day of the strike, 20 June, the CDT's premises in every province were surrounded. Moreover, the Secretary-General of the CDT, Noubir Amaoui, and the members of the executive Committee were summoned to the prefecture in Casablanca and then arrested. The CDT also states that over 1,000 people were arrested during the demonstrations and dozens of people were killed. Finally, it states that its premises in Rabat were occupied by the police. In addition, the CDT supplies a preliminary list of ten national leaders who were arrested.
5. 651. In its complaint, the WCL, after mentioning that arrests of militants took place as early as 19 June, also refers to the interventions of the police during the demonstrations and gives estimates of 600 dead, several hundred wounded and thousands of arrests. According to the WCL, certain persons were pursued and killed inside their houses. The corpses were not handed over to their families and were taken to unknown places. Most of the victims, according to the WCL, were hit by pistol or rifle bullets, contrary to the information given by the Government, according to which the victims (66 dead and 110 wounded officially) were wounded by weapons used in hand-to-hand fighting, blunt instruments or stones.
6. 652. The WCL specifies that, following the confrontations, the trials of the accused demonstrators began as early as 26 June. At the time of the complaint, some had already been sentenced to as much as two years' imprisonment, even in towns where no violence had been reported on 20 June (Meknès and Larache). In the opinion of the WCL, the rights of the defence appeared very limited and the proceedings took place very quickly. Finally, the WCL mentions numerous staff transfers in the public sector and the suspension of the civil service status of a large number of employees.
7. 653. The WFTU attaches to its communication a dossier published by the CDT describing the background of the events and the results of the demonstrations which, according to the Confederation, ended with more than 700 persons killed, thousands wounded, over 8,000 arrests, 100 summary trials and numerous dismissals of workers and arbitrary transfers of civil servants. This dossier also contains the letter sent by the executive Committee of the CDT on 11 June 1981 to the Prime Minister in which the Confederation demanded a wage increase equivalent to the increase in prices, the application of the sliding scale and the revision of the minimum wage, and the opening of a dialogue on the "claims file which has been in abeyance for years". It emerges further from the dossier that the court of first instance declared itself incompetent in the trials of four national leaders of the CDT, namely Noubir Amaoui, Secretary-General, Chennaf Abderahman, Mohammed Lamrani and Lakbir Bazzaoui, members of the executive Committee.
8. 654. The WCOTP and the FISE, for their part, provide information on the trade unionists in the teaching sector who were detained.
9. 655. Finally, in its communication of 25 December 1981, the CDT supplies a new list of trade union leaders and militants detained and sentenced (see the attached list) as well as the names of 39 leaders suspended or dismissed from enterprises in various sectors (water, electricity, urban transport, posts and telecommunications, mines, industry). In addition, the CDT mentions the 30 headquarters of its organisation which were closed by order of the Ministry of the interior as from 20 June 1981, including the central headquarters in Casablanca and 13 regional headquarters.

B. The Government's reply

1. 656. In its communication of 3 December 1981, the Government recalls that the right to strike is guaranteed by article 14 of the national Constitution. However, the Government adds, the exercise of the right to strike may in no way be construed to mean threats, pressure and interference with the right to work.
2. 657. With regard to the events of 20 June 1981, the Government considers that the real motives of the instigators of the general strike had much more to do with politics than with trade union matters. In fact, according to the Government, it was a political party which issued the strike call along with a trade union, and this same party mobilised considerable human and material resources for the organisation of the strike. One of the tracts distributed exhorted the militants to resist the Government, which was described as reactionary and unlawful. It was this basically political nature of the strike which, according to the Government, led other unions more representative of the workers to take a strong stand against it (the Moroccan Union of Labour and the General Union of Moroccan Workers).
3. 658. In the Governments view, the increase in prices invoked to justify the strike was not a sufficient ground. In fact, several days previously the Government had decided, after consulting the political parties and trade union organisations, to reduce the amount of the increase by half and to raise the salaries of civil servants by 13 per cent following an increase of 20 per cent in the minimum wage. Moreover, the strike of 20 June came only two days after that called by the Moroccan Union of Labour with which the CDT was associated. That strike took place peacefully and the authorities were not obliged to intervene.
4. 659. According to the Government, the strike call of 20 June was a failure in the public, semi-public and private services. The instigators of the movement did not hesitate to incite children to commit acts of aggression and vandalism (throwing stones at buses, threats and pressure against shopkeepers, violence against people who refused to take part in the strike, setting fire to public buildings, attempts to destroy water mains and setting up of stone barricades, attempts on the life of innocent people and attacks on their property). All these acts resulted in the death of 66 people, mostly among the police force, and in considerable material damage.
5. 660. Faced with the anarchy that had taken hold in certain quarters of Casablanca, the authorities had to intervene in order to re-establish order, to ensure the safety of citizens and to protect public and private property. The authorities were also discharging their duty when they arrested and brought before the courts the agitators and the instigators of the strike, who had proved incapable of controlling it.
6. 661. The Government states that the number of people arrested does not exceed 2,800. After being examined, 1,700 were released. The remaining 1,100 were brought before various courts according to the nature and seriousness of the charges against them. Seventy per cent of the persons prosecuted were brought before the criminal courts owing to the criminal nature of the acts committed. All of the accused enjoyed the guarantees provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure, in particular those relating to the rights of the defence. They were tried in public hearings and in the presence of their lawyers. Appeals were lodged against all of the sentences given in first instance, and on review many of the sentences were reduced. Others Were quashed and the persons acquitted.
7. 662. In its communication of 22 December 1981, the Government returns to the circumstances surrounding the events of 20 June. It recalls that the increase in prices decided on for compelling budgetary reasons had been the subject of a broad debate with political and trade union organisations and that, as a result of the dialogue so established, it, had been decided to reduce the over-all package of increases by 50 per cent. However, the Government goes on the Socialist Union of Peoples Forces (USFP) and its trade union, the CDT, despite the fact that they had participated in the dialogue, decided to go ahead with unacknowledged designs. Thus, tracts attacking the Government and calling for disturbances were distributed illegally, without prior authorisation, the day before the strike of 20 June. In the Government's view, it is therefore natural that arrests were made when the distributors were caught red-handed.
8. 663. The Government considers that the period and date chosen for calling the strike reveal even more clearly the dubious nature of the organiser's intentions. Shortly before, the King of Morocco had announced his intention of attending the summit of the Organisation of African Unity in Nairobi with a proposal for a solution to satisfy all the parties concerned in the "North-West African" conflict. Moreover, the day chosen for the strike was a Saturday; according to the Government, this is to be accounted for by the limited extent of the CDT audience. In fact, the Confederation was thus able to conceal the little support the strike had among the workers and to direct its action towards the already crowded Saturday streets.
9. 664. The Government adds that, faced with the failure of the strike - life in Casablanca went on as usual - the instigators proceeded to violence through acts of vandalism. The leaders of the strike, for their part were conspicuous by their absence, thus showing the weakness of their position and their inability to control the situation which they had created. In conclusion, the Government states that the CDT is in fact a "puppet" of the Socialist Union of People's Forces, which is using it for other than social ends in order to serve its own purposes. Dialogue is always open through national representative bodies following the path of democracy that Morocco is determined to pursue under the leadership of King Hassan II.
10. 665. Finally, in its communication of 14 January 1982, the Government states that it is not necessary to send a mission to Morocco, in view of the detailed observations that it has provided.

C. The Committee's conclusions

1. 666. This case relates mainly to the 24-hour general strike called by the Democratic Confederation of Labour on 20 June 1981. The demonstrations which took place that day resulted in the death of numerous persons and the injury of many others, the arrest of trade union leaders and militants, the dismissal and transfer of many workers, especially in the public sector, and the occupation and closure of the CDT's premises.
2. 667. First of all, the Committee wishes to express its concern at the gravity of the events and, in particular, the death of many people. The Committee also recalls that, in view of the seriousness of the allegations, the Director-General approached the Government as early as August 1981 regarding a possible on-the-spot mission. The Committee itself, at its November 1981 session, requested the Government as a matter of urgency to provide a reply on this point.
3. 668. The Committee can only take note of the Government's negative reply on this point. It thinks it useful, however, to point out that direct contact missions are an integral part of the ILO's procedures regarding freedom of association, as approved by the Governing Body at its 184th Session (November 1971). This direct contact procedure has, moreover, been used by the governments of a good many countries in order to facilitate the solution of problems at issue. In this case, the Committee considers that an on-the-spot mission would contribute to a better knowledge of the trade union situation and to a useful examination of possible solutions to the problems raised. The Committee therefore expresses the firm hope that the Government will in the light of these considerations, be able to review its position and agree shortly to the proposal that a representative of the Director-General should go to the country to discuss the matters at issue.
4. 669. The Committee considers that such a mission would be particularly desirable since it has found substantial contradictions between the complainants' allegations and the Government's reply, regarding not only the number of deaths and the number of persons arrested but also the circumstances of the strike movement. In the Government's view, the CDT acted solely from political motives, connected with its relations with a political party of the opposition, whereas, in the complainants' view, the demands were economic and social.
5. 670. In this respect, the Committee must point out that while the prohibition of strikes designed to coerce the Government, if they are not occupational in character, does not constitute an infringement of freedom of association, on the other hand workers' organisations should be able to express peacefully any dissatisfaction they may feel about economic and social questions affecting the interests of their members.
6. 671. An examination of the documents supplied by the complainants, in particular the list of demands of the CDT and the letter it addressed to the Prime Minister on 11 June 1981 clearly shows that the demands related to wage increases, job security and the protection of trade union rights, all of which are questions that come within the normal province of trade union organisations. It was on the basis of these demands that the general strike of 20 June was organised by the CDT.
7. 672. The movement led to serious incidents causing deaths on the side both of the demonstrators and of the police. As it has noted in such cases, the Committee considers that a thorough and impartial inquiry into the circumstances of these deaths would be an appropriate method of clarifying the facts and determining the responsibilities. Since the Government's reply provides no specific information on this point, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether such an inquiry has been carried out and, if so, to inform it of its results.
8. 673. Many trade union leaders and members were arrested either shortly before the demonstration or during the day of the strike. In such cases the Committee has always attempted to determine whether guarantees of a regular judicial procedure existed and what the reasons were for the arrests.
9. 674. The Committee has pointed out in particular that any trade unionist who is arrested should enjoy certain guarantees, including the right to be informed at once of the reasons for his arrest and to be informed promptly of the charges brought against him, the right to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defence and to communicate with counsel of his own choosing, and the right to a prompt trial by an impartial and independent judicial authority.
10. 675. In this case, it emerges from the information available that the arrested trade unionists were tried in courts of first instance and then in courts of appeal-. Sharply conflicting statements have been made by the complainants and the Government about the conditions in which these trials were conducted. The complaints refer to hasty proceedings and to very limited rights of defence whereas, according to the Government, the accused enjoyed the guarantees provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Committee obviously cannot express an opinion on the basis of such contradictory information. It can, however, note that the persons concerned had the opportunity of appealing and that those appeals resulted either in a confirmation of the sentence, a reduction of the sentence, an acquittal in some cases or, according to the complainants an increased sentence.
11. 676. The Government does not give any specific indications about the reasons for the sentences but merely states that most of the accused were brought before the criminal courts because of the criminal nature of the charges preferred against them. In this respect, the Committee must note that, in cases involving the arrest, detention or conviction of a trade union leader, it has always considered, that it is incumbent upon the government to show that the measures it has taken were in no way occasioned by the trade union activities of the individual concerned. In these circumstances, the Committee would like to have detailed information about the charges brought against the arrested trade unionists mentioned in the complaints and about the precise facts on which the sentences were based, as well as about the present position of these persons, especially the four national leaders of the CDT whose cases the courts apparently declared they were not competent to try (Noubir Amaoui, Chennaf Abderahman, Mohammed Lamrani, Lakbir Bazzaoui). The Committee also considers that information about the precise acts of which the trade unionists are accused would be of special importance in this case since the complaints report the sentencing of trade unionists even in towns where no incidents took place.
12. 677. The complainants have also provided a list of trade unionists said to have been dismissed from their jobs in several quite different sectors as well as a list of CDT premises closed by order of the Ministry of the Interior since the Government has made no reference to these allegations in its communications, the Committee would ask it for observations on these questions.

The Committee's recommendations

1. 678. In these circumstances, the Committee recommends the Governing Body to approve this interim report, in particular the following conclusions:
   • (a) Generally speaking, the Committee wishes first of all to express its concern at the gravity of the events which took place during the general strike of 20 June 1981 called by the Democratic Confederation of Labour.
   • (b) Regarding the proposal of an on-the-spot mission, the Committee considers that such a mission would contribute to a better knowledge of the trade union situation and to a useful examination of possible solutions to the problems raised. It therefore expresses the firm hope that the Government will, in the light of the Committee's considerations, be able to agree shortly to the proposal that a representative of the Director-General should go to the country to discuss the matters at issue.
   • (c) Regarding the reasons for the general strike of 20 June 1981, the Committee notes that the demands put forward by the CDT related mainly to economic and social questions. In this respect, the Committee wishes to stress that workers' organisations should be able to express peacefully any dissatisfaction that they may feel about economic and social questions affecting the interests of their members.
   • (d) Regarding the death of numerous persons at the time of the demonstrations, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether an inquiry has been carried out into the circumstances of those deaths and, if so, to inform it of the outcome.
   • (e) Regarding the arrest and conviction of trade unionists, the Committee requests the Government for detailed information about the charges brought against the arrested trade unionists mentioned in the complaints and the precise facts on which the sentences were based, as well as about the present position of these persons. It also requests detailed information about Noubir Amaoui, Chennaf Abderahman, Mohammed Lamrani and Lakbir Bazzaoui, the national leaders of the CDT, whose cases the courts declared they were not competent to try.
   • (f) With regard to the other allegations concerning the dismissal of trade unionists and the closure of the CDT's premises, the Committee requests the Government to provide its observations on these questions.
