A prominent lawyer yesterday criticised the Ministry of Labour and said it was not playing its part in protecting the rights of workers at commercial establishments.
Workers employed by outlets such as neighbourhood stores, eateries, laundries and barber shops, among others, put in long hours but are not paid extra, said Mohsin Thiyab Al Suwaidi.
“But we wonder what the inspectors of Labour Ministry are doing. Why they don’t raid neighbourhood stores, barber shops, eateries and laundries and check whether they are paying their workers on time, giving them weekly days off,” Al Suwaidi said.
