Tamim added that in Abu Dhabi, protests in the quarter declined from 21 in 2010 to 14, whereas in Dubai they reached 10 protests from 26 and in Sharjah they went down to 6 from 10.
He also said that the number of visits to employees’ villages carried out by labor inspectors in this year’s first quarter reached 58 in Abu Dhabi, 616 in Dubai, 554 in Sharjah, 86 in Ajman and 7 in Ras Al Khaimah.
