Abu Dhabi, Jan 12: Bhaskar Devadiga came to UAE with a dream and an intention of earning good livelihood through a recruiting agent to work in a five star hotel with all service benefits. However, upon landing in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Devadiga was forced to work at in a Cafeteria. The owner of the cafeteria has made him to work for 12 hours a day without a break and weekly holiday.
Being frustrated, Mr. Devadiga, rendered his resignation to his employer and worked for one month to cover his notice period as per directives of the Labour Ministry under the UAE Labor Law. But the employer (owner of the restaurant) not only refused to settle his two months’ salary but also confiscated his passport.
Meantime Mr. Devadiga approached Emirates India Fraternity Forum’s (EIFF), Representatives of EIFF took the task in their hands and consulted the Officials of the UAE Labor Office and Indian consulate office to clear the issue immediately. Due to their effort the restaurant owner has cleared his salary dues and handed over the passport. Devadiga had no words with him to appreciate EIFF’s help, but only had tears in his eyes. He conveyed his thanks to the team and wished that their efforts will continue in coming days, and returned back to his home-land recently.
