Dubai: The private sector said the decision to regulate the firing of Emiratis could discourage their hiring.
"Now companies will think twice before hiring UAE nationals," said Hamid Bu Amim, Director-General of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce.
"Any ruling imposing regulations on the private sector will have a negative effect on businesses. Companies will be more cautious in employing Emiratis. Such decisions might discourage employers from employing UAE nationals and encourage Emiratis not to give their best," he said.
Companies should have the freedom to decide their policies during crises and to keep their more productive employees, he said.
