Redundant workers to get visa extension

People who lose their jobs could be allowed to stay in the country for up to six months, the Minister of Labour said yesterday.

Saqr Ghobash said the change was included in one of two laws aimed at helping expatriate workers. Both are finished and awaiting approval, he said.

The first, which will give extra protection to labourers, could be passed by the Cabinet and signed into law within two weeks.
