The UAE has developed well-integrated, resilient legislation that ensures workers' rights as a strategy for economic growth, including fair and expeditious settlement of labour cases and disputes, Chief Justice Jamal Al Jabri, Head of the Labour Court at Dubai Courts, DC, has said.

Workers in the UAE enjoy optimum life amenities, including appropriate accommodations, transportation and other basic services in implementation of the directives of the wise leadership of the country, he added following a meeting with the Institutional Development and Innovation Unit at DC.
