An Indian worker said that he was grateful to Dubai for hosting him and thousands of other workers and for safeguarding labour rights in their workplaces.

Acting as a representative of thousands of workers, Uday Kumar, 30, addressed top officials and managers at a ceremony here on Monday to honour companies for protecting labourers rights, Gulf News reported.

"I came to Dubai before one year to achieve my dreams. The company provided good facilities for us with best accommodation and food. I'm happy in UAE," Kumar said during the ceremony to honour the winners of the Taqdeer (appreciation) Award Programme, an initiative that recognises companies which implement best global practices in safeguarding labour rights in the workplace.

 

Kumar said he has nothing but "appreciation to Dubai for the joy and progress that we proudly give our families back home".

In its third year, the award has managed to include more than one million workers and has come to witness a 77 per cent growth in the number of participating companies in different sectors.
