200 thousand workers !! I rememberĀ an isolated incident in Dubai sometime back when the authorities threatned to dispose 100 thousand workers who staged a strike. However in the end only 200 or such labouers were deported. I cannot gather from this article whether this has already been implemented or just thought upon. Secondly, I would also like to question if there is really a construction boom in Bahrain as in Qatar or U.A.E. (someone from construction may have the answer).
