Abstract
Unlike other branches of private law, labor law is at once pragmatic, realistic, and expansionist. It is pragmatic because it serves as the State's privileged instrument of political and economic action, used to intervene in the labor market and general economic conditions in order to secure the welfare of the most disadvantaged segment of the population, the working class; public authorities thus readily steer the national economy through regulation of apprenticeship, dismissals, and the enterprise, channeling the workforce toward sectors requiring expansion or contraction. It is expansionist because its scope, once confined to industry and manual workers, has progressively extended to commercial, agricultural and liberal professions, to all private-sector employees, and even to aspects of public enterprises, accentuating its complementarity with public law. The author stresses that the legislative and regulatory provisions composing labor law develop unevenly, producing a troubling gap between labor legislation and its field of intervention, and offers elements for a critical evaluation of Moroccan labor law.
