Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has celebrated the International Labour Day (1st of May) by running several events targeting workers in and outside RTA.
RTA provided an international telephone line through kiosk installed at labour’s camp in Sonapur at Muhaisina enabling labours from different nationalities to speak to their families and relatives on this day. The step is in line with the UAE initiative declaring 2019 as the Year of Tolerance. Workers were also enjoyed a trip aboard Dubai Ferry, where they were entertained by various activities and were gifted nol cards. Other activities of the day included distributing giveaways to all cleaners at RTA facilities.
Staging these events on the International Labour Day is a gesture of appreciation to the labours for their sincere and valuable contribution to the development of RTA in particular and Dubai in general.
