Labour law awareness campaigns to soon target UAE employers

ABU DHABI // Employers will soon be targeted in a campaign to improve their relationships with workers after more stringent labour laws took effect this year.

Saqr Ghobash, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, made the comments to a group of 400 workers at an Abu Dhabi labour camp while launching the second phase of the Know Your Rights campaign.

The spreading of knowledge about labour laws will help establish harmonious relationships between workers and employers and encourage productivity, he said, speaking at the International City Abu Dhabi camp in Mussaffah on Wednesday.

The campaign aimed to educate workers residing in, or arriving to, the UAE about the newly-launched decrees, and inform them of their rights and obligations regarding their employers, said Mr Ghobash.
