UMT organised a large union meeting at its headquarters this afternoon. The meeting, which lasted an hour, brought together approximately 150 union representatives who work at Casablanca airport and in the airline companies. The meeting, which focused on UPS and DHL, aimed to raise awareness of the importance of unionisation and denounced anti-union activities by the two companies. Participants called on DHL to reinstate the General Secretary of the DHL union who had been sacked six months earlier during attempts to organise workers.
