There are an estimated 320,000 Filipinos and 1.5 million Indians working in the UAE, the newspaper reported.
Daily newspaper the National reported on Sunday,Nasser Munder, the Philippine labour attache in Abu Dhabi and a member of the project’s oversight committee, told the newspaper he wanted the results of the project to ensure that all prospective employees were qualified to do the job for which they were recruited.
“The worker may be asked to sign a new contract with a lower salary because he is not deemed fit for the job,” he told the newspaper. “We want to ensure that their work is not risky and that they’re paid on time. We will monitor the progress of their employment. If problems arise, the Ministry of Labour will try to resolve them.”
"This is a stocktaking and fact-finding exercise," K Ellangovan, counsellor and head of the community welfare wing at the Indian embassy, told the newspaper.
"The project is aimed at enhancing quality and bringing in transparency. Policies will be built brick by brick with the inputs from the migrant workers."
