Mohamed El Hattati, a member of the Democratic Confederation of Labour's executive bureau, maintains the demand to withdraw the legislation. He argues that its provisions restrict trade union rights. That assessment is the union's position.

Abdelilah Dahmane, deputy secretary-general of the National Union of Labour in Morocco, calls for negotiated changes to conditions, procedures and penalties, alongside a timetable for talks. Both positions come from interviews by the same outlet. They establish neither a government commitment nor an enacted legislative change.
