A Dignified Life
Finally, at least someone in the Government is concerned about the "invisible population" - the laborers. Sheikh Mohammed just passed a decree which promised "a dignified life [for the laborers] both in their places of residence and at work. At last, some justice for these poor workers.
Every time I walk past these workers, I feel so sorry for them. They have been forced to leave their homes, sell off their lands and come all the way here to be able to feed their families. They work endless hours in the boiling summer (during which I can't even walk for 2 minutes, forget doing hard labor). On top of that they live in congested, cramped places. And when they aren't paid, they don't even have the right to go on strike.
I think they are far from a "dignified" life, and even this new decree can't make their labor less harsh. The most dignified life they can get is:
But the amount of work, the amount of hardships and the amount of separation they have to take can never be reduced. The above points are the basic things they should have, and they are not too difficult to provide. However, they still do not get these.
I honestly hope the new laws will change that, and I applaud Sheikh Mohammed for this noble initiative.
