In the many call centres located in Morocco, where workers of both sexes hold low-paid jobs, the multinational owners do their best to keep out the unions. A criminal code left over from colonial days makes this easier. When Ayoub Saoud wanted to go to his job in call centre Casablanca B2S, 20 security guards barred the way. They would not let him, along with six other employees, go to work. The company had frozen their salaries, suspended their functions and filed a lawsuit against them. (.)
