A number of pumping station and reservoir guards in the province of Driouch have submitted a petition to the officials of the regional administration of the Regional Company for Multi-Services, demanding urgent intervention to settle their financial situation, in light of what they described as a delay in the payment of their wages for three months, despite their continued performance of their professional duties.
According to the petition, dated October 19, 2026, in the city of Ben Tayeb, the workers concerned are employed by the outsourcing company TATOUMA MAROC within the framework of services provided to the Regional Company for Multi-Services. They affirmed that they have not received their monthly wages for the past three months, which has caused them concern about their social and financial situation.
The signatories of the petition explained that the continued delay in wages has negatively impacted their living conditions, as they rely on these dues to cover daily living expenses and meet their families' needs. They demanded the payment of all outstanding wages and an end to a situation that they said is burdening them with increasing financial obligations.
In the same context, the workers called on the Regional Company for Multi-Services to intervene within the framework of its responsibilities related to the outsourcing contract, relying on the provisions of Article 86 of the Labor Code, through which they raised the issue of responsibility for non-payment of wages. They also gave the concerned parties one week, starting from the date of receiving the petition, to resolve the matter, threatening to resort to legal procedures if the situation continues without resolution.
This case brings back to the forefront the discussion about respecting the social rights of workers employed through outsourcing and ensuring they receive their wages within the specified deadlines. In light of the demands expressed by the guards of the pumping stations and reservoirs in Driouch, attention is now directed to the concerned authorities to verify the content of the petition and take the necessary measures to resolve the situation, ensuring the workers' rights and putting an end to their suffering, while awaiting clarifications from the concerned company and the Regional Company for Multi-Services regarding these demands.
