CEO uses abusive language with employees

Dubai - Write a letter to your employers to refrain from abusive language and copy it to the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation

I have been working for a company for the past 10 months, reporting to the CEO. Recently, a new CEO has been appointed. He is very rude and uses improper language with me. Further, my colleagues also feel that he is abusive. Do I have any legal recourse with which to respond to these behaviours? 
Pursuant to your queries, you and other employees, who have objection to such language being used by the CEO, write a letter to him to refrain from using such abusive language and copy this letter to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. This is in accordance with Article 155 of the Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 Regulating Employment Relations in the UAE (the 'Employment Law'), it states: "Where a dispute occurs between one or more employers and all or certain of their employees and the parties fail to settle it amicably, they shall observe the following procedures: 
1. The employees shall submit their complaint or claim in writing to the employer and at the same time send a copy of it to the employment department; 
2. The employer shall reply in writing to the employee's complaint or claim within seven working days from the date of receipt of the complaint. He shall at the same time send the ministry a copy of his reply; 
3. Where the employer fails to reply within the prescribed time limit or where his reply does not lead to a settlement of the dispute, the competent ministry shall, either of its own motion or at the request of one of the parties to the dispute, mediate with a view to reaching an amicable settlement; 
4. Where the complainant is the employer, he shall submit his complaint directly to the ministry, which shall mediate between the parties to settle the dispute amicably."
