On Tuesday, at the Government Palace, Prime Minister Ayman bin Abdul Rahman chaired a government meeting devoted to studying the preliminary draft of the government’s general policy statement that will be presented to Parliament, in addition to presenting two draft executive decrees related to the practice of union work.

A statement from the interests of the Prime Minister stated, “The Prime Minister, Mr. Ayman bin Abdel Rahman, chaired this Tuesday, September 19, 2023, a government meeting, held at the Government Palace. During its weekly meeting, the government began its work by studying the preliminary draft of the government’s general policy statement that will be presented to Parliament, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution”.

This document includes data related to the embodiment of the work carried out by the various ministerial sectors, as well as the interim summary of the government’s achievements during the past year.

In the field of work:

The Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security presented two (2) draft executive decrees taken in implementation of the provisions of Law No. 23-02 of April 25, 2023 relating to the exercise of the union right.

The matter concerns a draft executive decree related to union representation and union statistics, and a draft executive decree specifying the rules related to union assignment and how to benefit from the union formation holiday in public institutions and administrations.

These two texts aim to provide better conditions for exercising the union right in line with economic objectives, especially by ensuring consistency in the features of union representation, which constitutes the basic condition for exercising the union right and for participating in social dialogue and consultation.

These new provisions will also contribute significantly to the purification of the national union scene and the emergence of real forces for constructive social dialogue, the statement adds.
