Abu Dhabi postal workers to get free accommodation
The Board of Emirates Post has proposed that those working in Abu Dhabi post offices who live in other emirates should be given free bachelor accommodation.
The proposal was put forth by the Board at a meeting last Sunday, under the chairmanship of Abdullah Al Daboos. The meeting was attended by Fahad Al Hosani, Vice President of Emirates Post Group, Ibrahim Bin Karam, CEO of Emirates Post and other members of the board.
The aim is to enable the employees to avoid travel back and forth on high-speed roads, exposing them to accidents, pressure and tiredness. The proposal will be submitted to the Board of Emirates Post Group for final approval.
“Our employees working in Abu Dhabi have been facing hardships because they had to travel long distances under dangerous conditions. We have, therefore, proposed to provide them with accommodation, without any deduction from their salary,” said Al Daboos. “The decision is in keeping with our constant efforts to look after the welfare and well-being of our employees.”
The board also endorsed the rules for Emirates Post, to be ratified later by the Board of Emirates Post Group. The members reviewed the financial performance of Emirates Post for the first two months of 2008, and expressed satisfaction that performance was stronger than the corresponding period in 2007.
The board discussed broad aspects of Emirates Post’s strategy for the future as a subsidiary of the Emirates Post Holding Group, including new alliances and new ventures with strategic partners, as part of its strategic diversification and expansion.
