Could you be both angered and amused at the same time? If you live in the UAE, then you probably know this dual-state of emotion all too often.
Reading about a sponsorship case within the Emirates evoked these two very emotions within me earlier today. The article, titled ‘Six-month work ban applies evenly to men and women‘ chronicled the miserable case of a woman who had a six month ban imposed by the Ministry of Labor on account of failing to complete her period of employment with her former employer despite being on her husband’s sponsorship. Now here’s the kicker: the lady lodged a complaint with the Ministry, but officials took almost six months to respond! Now if that isn’t a testament to the efficiency of the Ministry of Labor, well I don’t really know what is.
