Mr President, workers’ rights in the United Arab Emirates are currently facing serious challenges. The legal framework is currently very unfair for migrant workers, gives too much power to employers and allows them to interfere in the lives, including the personal lives, of their employees. There are laws impeding essential labour rights such as freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. Without such rights, workers who are also immigrants have no way of asking for better treatment and so are condemned to a demoralising and inhuman existence. This has to stop.
We therefore call upon the authorities of the United Arab Emirates to move towards providing greater equality in the workplace and to build a good legal framework that gives workers their rights, allowing them freedom of association, granting them freedom of expression inside and outside the workplace, and giving them citizenship rights in the United Arab Emirates."@en1
