Alaswaq.net, cited by Emirates Business, said sources connected with the GCC labour market indicated that after Bahrain's announcement, other GCC countries are now considering their own positions.
Bahrain said on Tuesday it would scrap its existing sponsorship system for foreign workers in the hope of reducing its need for foreign labour.
In a statement Bahrain's Labour Minister Majeed al-Alawi said: "We're working on identifying a ceiling on expatriate workers in Bahrain."

Didn't you read it....
In Bahrain, your sponsor would be the ministry of labor. They will be able to kick you out of the country as they see fit. The aim is reducing foreign labor, not giving foreign labor the freedom to get any job they want
I could imagine their discussions:
"Let's reduce the XXXXXXs by 7%, we can increase the YYYYYYs by 2%".
"We need to be fair, let's kick people out randomly".
"It would be better to kick-out people who have been here longer".
Wat abt Qatar?
