In light of the public flak received by a nursery group in the UAE that posted an online advertisement looking to recruit a teacher with "white skin", UAE residents have been urged to report any discriminatory job listings they come across.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dr Omar Al Nuaimi, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation said job posts that "specify discriminatory preferences" strictly break UAE laws. And he warned that companies will be "punished" if they engage in such actions.
"Residents who come across these types of posts can report the issue directly to the Ministry if it is related to a private sector company registered in the UAE. They need to call 80060 and then we will take the appropriate action."
Speaking about the recent case of the Happy Jump Nursery group, which posted - and subsequently removed - an online advertisement which stated it was seeking a number of English teachers of "European origin and white skin", Dr Al Nuaimi said it has brought an issue to light.
"These actions are discriminatory on nationality, colour and it is not allowed by UAE or international law. Companies will be punished if they engage in these actions. We will take appropriate moves to address the issue in all such cases."
Explaining the official process regarding how complaints of discrimination against private companies are dealt with by the Ministry, Dr Al Nuaimi said several steps are taken.
"When a general complaint against a company is made, like in this case of the nursery posting a discriminatory advertisement, the case is referred to the inspection department. The department then starts by warning the company about its actions and the Ministry staff thoroughly checks the nature of what instigated the complaint. If it concludes any deliberate wrongdoing, the case can be referred to the general prosecution; and only at the prosecution stage will the penalty be decided."
