Thank you for this link. Very interesting. However halfway I nearly closed the debate as I was so discusted by Dr. Najeeb, who in my eyes is a big hypocrate. I worked for him when he was a minister and I can tell you from personal experience that the things he was trying to say about the bad treatment of the workers is exactlty how he treated his own workers. I got fired from his company (after actually doing a very good job and saving him a lot of money)I received NO salary - nothing. A phone call at night at my home.saying:"You are fired" I got a lawyer involved and wanted to claim my salary - at least for the notice period (as per my contract). My lawyer, after having written to Najeeb, advised me because he was Minister of Justice, they could no longer defend my case as the office of the minister had adviced them not to persue & they would risk to lose their licence if they continued this case.
I agree that there are issues to be done on the labor side. But then again, look at other countries where the same thing goes on, and I am not talking about Arab countries, but the USA in their treatment of the Hispanics, the European countries towards their foreign labour forces. It is all over the world like this. Dont just blame the GCC staes. They have seen the examples come from the West!
