Abu Dhabi:
Employees of private sector firms in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
should be given holidays equal to the number of government
holidays, the UAE's newspaper Gulf News has said.
On Eid this year, those working in the public sector are enjoying
a long holiday beginning Wednesday till the weekend. But private
sector workers have a two-day holiday which coincides with the
weekend, the newspaper said in its editorial Friday.
"It is wrong for government and private sector employees to have
different holidays", it said, adding: "We support longer holidays
for the private sector".
