The event was held at an active construction site in the city, with many workers in attendance. Its primary aim was to honor and appreciate the workers for their dedicated efforts and significant role in driving comprehensive development and urban progress in Abu Dhabi. The initiative also sought to express gratitude and respect for this vital segment of society and bring them joy on their special day.
The event featured an awareness session highlighting the significance of International Workers’ Day and the UAE’s dedication to recognizing the contributions of labor forces on this global occasion. In addition, gifts were distributed to bring joy to the workers, and a series of free medical examinations were conducted in collaboration with Aster M Healthcare Hospital.
