The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), in collaboration with its partners in federal and local government entities and the private sector, is organising a series of events across the country to celebrate the International Workers’ Day, which is observed on 1st May of every year, with this year being held under the slogan #HonouringOurWorkers.
As part of the weeklong programme planned for celebrating International Workers’ Day, the MoHRE is organising a range of activities, including a cricket tournament for private sector workers, attended by high-level officials from government and private entities, as well as strategic partners. The tournament is accompanied by a series of competitions and artistic events, featuring celebrities and athletes, in addition to a marathon for workers, in coordination with the Dubai Sports Council.
Ministry officials will also be visiting companies that have stood out with their progress in Emiratisation to explore their training and recruitment programmes, meet with Emirati workers in the private sector, and listen to their feedback. Visits will also be organised at various labour accommodation facilities across the country to meet with workers and distribute gifts to them.
Furthermore, the programme features various accompanying events to engage community members. These include launching the hashtag #HonouringOurWorkers, along with activities to encourage the community and companies to participate in International Workers’ Day celebrations.
The programme also includes collaborating with the ‘Giving Family’ initiative to organise an event with recreational activities for workers.
To promote the spirit of tolerance and coexistence in the country, the MoHRE, in collaboration with a group of government and local entities and private sector companies, is overseeing a programme of events for workers of all nationalities across the UAE, which reflects the country’s competitiveness and status as a leading destination for living and working.
The Union Association for Human Rights (UAHR) acknowledged the UAE's position as a global leader in securing decent, safe, and respectful working conditions for its workforce.
The Association highlighted the importance of the UAE's laws, legislation, and initiatives in achieving a comprehensive and unique system that protects workers' rights and fulfils its international human rights commitments.
