If you can't manage, don't do it.
If you can't make a sustainable business and greediness is taking over, stop and reconsider your position. Growth is sometimes a bad thing, especially when you don't have enough (capable) people to handle it.
Labour laws are there for a reason - they ensure the give and take equilibrium. No laws, no equilibrium.

It makes me laugh when I see people discuss labor issues in Dubai. You are paid slaves with no rights working for a guy that is de facto a dictator. Going to work in Dubai..and all other " countries" in the area equates to selling your body and soul. If someone had balls it would take 5 days to shut EK down and get out of the Middle Age....but keep playing with your Iphone and drive your gas guzzling !!!!ty american cars..just please, shut up.

Bob,
1. I don't have a gas guzzling car.
2. The average American worker does not have that many rights
3. The European social democracy system was built on the wealth from colonial plunder
4. Those Chinese shoes you wear are an endorsment of the system of slavery.
5. Grow up
6. If you are from the Southern Hemisphere pretty sure you profited from stealing the land from the natives and enslaving them.
7. See 5

1) I don't believe it
2) the average american worker has the right to unite with his peers, to strike, to go a to lawyer to take many initiatives that in Dark Age are simply forbidden
3) Germany is a social democracy , lost the war and never had any colonies. That is a prerogative mainly of brits that are the cause of the present situation in the ME and opportunistically taking advantage of it...
4) I wear Italian shoes made in Italy
5) You grow up and more over grow a pair
6) I'm not form the southern hemisphere beside we are now in 2014... if you did not realize it by living in place that is ( by its own calendar) 569 years behind.

1. Ok
2. 50 million Americans live below their official poverty line ( that's $23,000 for a family of 4 ) . I am a former us airline pilot. Striking is not that easy.
3. You have no Chinese products at home? You ever wonder why there are so many Chinese workers in Milan ?
4. 70 years ago, the holocast was occurring in Germany. 26 years ago a person was shot scaling a wall.
The point is that there are laws here. Sure our employer bends them and we don't have solid rights, but by asking questions we might get something's changed. We might not. But you might as well ask.

germany had no colonies? as a someone said before, back to school.
List of former German colonies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holocaust yes, murder on the wall yes. The country has evolved and greatly learned from past horrible events.

I used to fly freighters. We'd fly the leather 'uppers' from India and the soles from Libya, into Fiumicino. The Italian workmen would then stitch the two together and, hey presto, genuine Italian shoes made in Italy.
I hope you're not paying over the odds.

They do. I bear witness that someone very high up the food chain asks his secretary for the highlights every morning.
The only way for UAE workers to gain fair and reasonable labour laws is to leave the dictatorship and move to/back to a civilised democracy.

Actually the Oma chap 20 under leave states clearly ....UAE labour law. ...in reference to leave. If you are assigned those crappy 4 day leave blocks email asking, if it is complaint with UAE labour law, which clearly states the employer can only split your leave into two. The employee can request to split it into more than two. For Cabin crew whose leave is less than 30 days, you must email your manager to complain and ask if it is complaint with the law. They are mointering how many complaints are being made over this leave assignment period.
If you don't ask, nothing will happen . We will continue to be sheep. If you do ask, there may be a chance, albeit slim, that something can change. Please encourage your cabin crew to email their managers. If the response is we are not under UAE labour law email back asking for the reference.

I agree with thatwasclose, managers will tell you whatever they think will make yu go away quickest and give up. My favourite line, is that it has been checked for veracity by our legal department.... well of course it has and they are not biased at all to the organisational needs.
