UAE Construction Workers - Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Middle East -- Human Slavery?

Migrant workers make up over 85% of the population of the UAE (United Arab Emirates).

A booming construction area with dozens of large multi phase developments such in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and other emirates include projects such as the Burj Dubai, Ski Dubai, Dubailand and the Mall of Arabia.

Migrant workers make up virtually every category of employee in the UAE from CEOs and engineers to cement mixers, drivers, accountants and janitors.

Highly skilled and educated workers from western nations come to the Middle East for tax free income and often increased wages and opportunity. Most attention to migrant workers focuses on the manual laborers.

Numbering over 300,000, manual laborers make up a large amount of the population. Attention has focused on these workers for their wages and working conditions which are generally poor by western standards.

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and other wealth oil exporting nations also have large numbers of migrant workers who are mostly focused on building infrastructure and implementing the huge investments made by these countries. Workers come from all over the world in addition to the higher paid, educated and skilled workers from the UK, US, Ireland and throughout Europe and Asia, manual laborers come from Myanmar (Burma), India, Pakistan, Somalia or other countries. India and Pakistan also have a large number of highly skilled and highly paid workers.

Lack of unions and organized labor makes life for the construction workers very different from the US however most workers are very happy for the opportunity and the economics of wage equalization exist because of a very liberal work immigration policy and a robust economy.

Favorable taxes and opportunity make the region popular for guest workers.

abu dhabi have always been bailing out dubai since 1979 that was the agreement for making one country. but some media like bbc and fox news dont have any clue and they talk as if they know everything lol. first let bbc say dubai is a city inside a country called uae then saying dubai is a country then take their bullshit news and facts.

Arabs/Muslim expect to be treated well in the western countries,but you cannot expect anything better when you came from Asia or other western countries. They treated Asian workers as third class citizen and live in appalling condition. You cannot expect the pig to treat others better.

The Arab nation's are nothing without these workers and without oil (it will disappears in the next 50 yrs) these ugly Arabs will eat dust from the arse of the camel in the desert where they belong as nomads!

Muslims get treated better in the west, we have equal rights and freedom of speech. Fuck dubai i hope the UK or Israel invades it, they would sort the place out

I am disgusted by the treatment of foreign workers in Dubai by their wealthy Emirate bosses, but I ask you guys not to be racist towards Arabs or divided yourself among ethnic lines. This is about the oppression of the working class against the wealth capitalists. An Arab Palestinian worker living in the West Bank is treated just as harshly in their own homeland by wealthy capitalistic Israelis! The oppressed workers of the world must unite under the banner of freedom and equality.
