Fes Municipality Faces Backlash Over Contract Workers' Unpaid Wages
In a shocking revelation, the issue of contract workers in the municipality of Fes has evolved into a significant financial scandal, drawing scrutiny towards the city mayor and the relevant authorities under the Ministry of Interior. The number of affected workers has surged to over a thousand, resulting in a staggering budget deficit of nearly two billion centimes for the municipality. This situation has tragically become a breeding ground for numerous harrowing stories from affected workers who continuously bring this issue to the forefront.
On Monday evening, a group of these contract workers organized a protest outside the municipal office, attempting to gain access to the building where the mayor’s office is located. Their demands were clear: they sought the disbursement of their overdue monthly wages. However, they were met with locked doors, forcing them to continue their protest until the evening prayer, with threats of resuming their demonstrations the following day if their demands remain unmet. The situation highlights the urgent need for action to address the plight of these workers, who have been left in financial limbo.
