At a joint Press conference held yesterday, the MoL and du announced that the web site, www.uaelabourlaw.net, will remain active for two months, starting today, inviting feedback from UAE residents. Initially, the web site will be in Arabic and it will soon be followed by an English version.
Dr Ali bin Abdullah Al Kaabi, Minister of Labour, said, “The labour law is one of the most important mechanisms that influence the market. It is based on transparency and our partnerships with labourers, business people and the society at large. This initiative is an important step in translating our vision of continuing development and providing access to government services using the latest communications technology. “In this age of fast paced information technology, an institution as vital as the Ministry of Labour needs to establish innovative and transparent channels of communication in order to effectively connect with the public. It is equally important to gather the opinion of those that the law will impact. The Internet is one of the most powerful tools today to interact with people.
“We are grateful that du, with its benchmark expertise, is our communications partner in this first of its kind initiative. With du’s support, we will use the portal’s results to evaluate the comprehensiveness and efficacy of the law.”
The UAE labour law, which was last amended in 1980, is being modified again after a period of 27 years. It is set to be finalised this December.
