ILO Praises UAE Efforts in Enhancing Worker Social Protection

Mr. Sangheon Lee, Director of Employment Policy, Job Creation, and Livelihoods at the
International Labour Organisation (ILO) has expressed his appreciation for the efforts
dedicated by the UAE government to enhance social protection for all workers. “UAE is
taking actions, and that’s in the right direction, and of course there will be more policy
initiatives, attempts, and efforts that will be made. The sustained efforts from the government
does give a very good example for many other governments to follow” said Mr. (Lee) in a
video that was published via MOHRE’s social media handles. He continued to further praise
the UAE’s Midday Break Rule, as well as the initiative allocating 356 rest stations for delivery
riders all over the UAE.
