The Ministry of Labour protects the rights of workers
Abu Dhabi, May 1, 2011 (WAM) - The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labour Mubarak Saeed Al Dhahiri has stressed the commitment of the ministry to preserve the rights of workers, provide appropriate work environment and good living conditions to them in accordance with the directives of the leadership.
He added that the ministry aims to achieve the strategic objectives to ensure the interests of production parties and protect the workers in line with the international labour criteria, and the national laws that respect the human rights principles.
This came at the sidelines of the Workers' Marathon event organised by the ministry at Yas Circuit in Abu Dhabi with participation of 3, 000 workers to mark the International Workers Day.
On his part, Maher Hamad Al Oubed, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for Inspection Affairs, said the ministry has been steadily striving to stabilise the labour market through implementation of a number of initiatives, among others, the Wages Protection System, the control tool to ensure the labour get their salaries on time. "The salary system service at the electronic portal of the ministry allows a worker to communicate with the ministry electronically to enquire about the delay of his salary", he added.
He referred to the labour accommodation measures endorsed by the Cabinet, and conform to the international labour accommodation criteria. A move, he said could enhance the labour productivity and reflect positively on interests of employers.
Al Oubed praised the efforts of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company "du" for sponsoring the Workers Marathon for the second year in a row.
Farid Faraidooni, Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Affairs, du, congratulated the workers on the World Workers Day, thanking the ministry for giving du the opportunity to partake in such events.

He added the UAE nationals with the special needs, working with the private sector will be honoured on May 2, at Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai.
