RAM – The National Federation of Air Transport (FNTA), affiliated to the Moroccan Union of Labor (UMT), wants to find a way out of the social situation that reigns within the Royal Air Maroc (RAM). The union office of the FNTA, which notes that the social climate at the RAM is "more and more disturbed by tugging due to a hardening of the positions of the ones and the others", invites in a communiqué all the parts to find " compromise "to avoid that the RAM and its staff are found" in a situation that could recall that of the year 2009 ".

The FNTA-UMT recalls the "disastrous" consequences of the 2009 conflict "which led to a painful restructuring plan, the only victims of which were the company's small employees, not to mention the colossal financial losses that the have accompanied, "adding that this situation had plunged the RAM" into an endless spiral "that allowed the competitors" to position themselves on the chessboard of the airline industry. "

The RAM undermined
