Hotel workers in Qatar facing abuse in run up to World Cup, report says

The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre reported that migrant workers in the hotels suffer from "extortionate recruitment fees, discrimination and being trapped in a job through fear of reprisal and intimidation".

After inviting 19 hotel companies, representing more than 100 global brands with more than 80 properties across Qatar to participate in their survey, the Resource Centre found that there is a "widespread lack of action by hotel brands to prevent and exclude forced labour"...

Subcontracted workers said they received "substantially less pay for the same work and were subject to the most serious abuses, including passport confiscation and delayed wages with illegal deductions"...

In response to the report, the Qatari government said it "takes a zero-tolerance approach against violating companies, issuing harsh penalties including prison sentences".
