New Midday Break - An Opportunity for Labor Class
The UAE government has implemented a strict rule mandating all construction and on-site job companies to allocate approximately 3 hours of rest between 12:00 noon and 3:00/4:00 pm due to the high temperatures exceeding 50 degrees. This move aims to enhance the welfare of laborers working in extreme heat, providing a humanitarian approach to their well-being. Observing these workers relaxing in the shade during noon highlights the positive impact of this initiative. Additionally, it has created a business opportunity for small grocery shops near construction areas as workers frequent these establishments for snacks and cool drinks during their mandated leisure time.
Reflecting on this scenario, it raises the question of why social groups, associations, or companies do not utilize this leisure time to educate the labor class on various topics such as savings methods, insurance schemes, and health/welfare measures. Your thoughts and suggestions on potential implementation or assistance plans for this cause are welcomed.
