How Qatar Can Learn From Qatar Foundation And How QF Should Walk The Talk

"How Qatar can learn from Qatar Foundation," 20 Jun 2020

I work for a security company...

Our working and living experience so far has been in sharp contrast to what we had hoped for...

At the time our company got the Msheireb contract... (hundreds) had essentially been out of work, seeing as how some contracts had not been renewed...

The Wage Protection System should have notified the authorities when we were not paid in full, or when there were unfair deductions...

I had tried to contact MP without success, and hoped that my email [to Qatar Foundation] reached someone...

From the day I reported the matter in January, we are still living in the same conditions.

And in these rooms, 4-something by 4-something metres, they packed six of us, in double tier beds along with our effects...

Migrant-Rights.org reached out to Msheireb Properties... [the company responded:]

Msheireb Properties works closely with all of our subcontractors to ensure full compliance of our codes and labor policies. If this standard has not been met, we will take further action on the back of the findings of our review.
