Labor Unions

In the labor sector, conflicts and drawn-out strikes resulting in "lose-lose" outcomes are the dominant norm of confrontation. This protracted situation is costing Moroccans billions of dirhams in opportunity cost, lost investments, and jobs. SFCG-Morocco brought together the government, private sector, and main labor unions around a joint project to institutionalize in Morocco a culture of collaborative problem solving. The project aimed at creating a group of Moroccan mediators and trainers in dispute resolution and included capacity-building events, exchange visits abroad, and other activities. Following are some of our past activities in the Moroccan labor sector: Capacity Building

We conducted a series of training workshops to build the participants capacity in mediation, negotiation, consensus building, and training skills.

Exchange Visits
We facilitated a study tour for a delegation of seven Moroccans to visit U.S. labor institutions and undergo specialized training, learn of the various existing models of labor-management relations in the U.S., and explore how they could apply these experiences in the context of Morocco.
