The Reality of Collective Agreements and Their Contribution to the Development of Social (Labor) Law
Abstract
For a long time, employment relations were strictly individual, confined to the link between an employer and each worker separately. This situation did not endure: labor relations evolved toward a collective dimension, bringing together not the employer and a single worker but the employer and the whole body—or at least a group—of employees. Contemporary labor relations thus moved beyond the individual worker–employer relationship to become a relationship between the two factors of production, labor and capital, each increasingly organized within trade union structures that regulate the relationship in place of the individual contract. This article studies the reality of collective agreements as the central legal instrument governing employment relations, alongside related institutions such as unions, strikes, conciliation and arbitration procedures in collective disputes. It assesses the extent to which collective agreements have contributed to developing Moroccan social law and connecting legal analysis with its socio-economic context.
