Workers rights
Perhaps the BBC should look into the agencies who supply the immigrant workers?Most have to pay a big fee up front just to get there,then pay back the agent before they actually earn anything.Quite common in Thailand .The carrot is usually they will obtain a passport for you and fly you to the destination country(Korea ,Taiwan ie.,)and put you in dormitary accomodation thats just about livable.Not just Dubai.Been like this for years,I have worked in a number of countries and things are pretty much the same.One job was on American territory and my guys worked in McDonalds on thier days of as they paid more than the company rate(US.company).
