The Emirate of Dubai cares about workers and is keen to take care of their rights, in line with the Emirati national spirit, whose principles are derived from the values of tolerance inherited by generations, so that the UAE will be a model for labor affairs related to the protection and care of workers, preserving their rights, and providing them with a decent life.
