FUTURE OF QATAR LABOUR

After the recent Human Rights Watch (HRW) report that showed how Qatar lacks some labor rights such as their ability to unionize, and how the sponsorship system is giving the employers too much power over them, Gulf News looked into the future of labor rights in Doha.

Workers all over the world are known with their unions and organised movements. But in Qatar they can be penalized with dismissal and could be deported from Qatar and sometimes the whole Gulf if they're form any unions.

In a movement to help workers in Doha, human rights activists met the Labor Minister in the second week of June. They discussed a draft of a workers’ committees law and agreed to show the final draft to several human rights organisations to give them their comments.

That did not happen according to the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). “They are going on with their governmental plan with no regard to workers,” according to Sharan Burrow, ITUC General Secretary.
