Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The Ministry dispatched a team to review the workers' complaint and negotiated a settlement providing for immediate payment of a portion of the unpaid amount with the balance to be paid in monthly installments in addition to regular salary. Such work stoppages continue to occur periodically in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and though technically not sanctioned by law, Ministry officials generally review non- payment cases sympathetically. (See reftel). In addition to these informal dispute resolution mechanisms, the government is also proceeding with legislation permitting the creation of unions. Albright
