According to a statement by the General Trade Union of Construction Workers in Jordan, migrant workers subcontracted for The St. Regis project have lodged a number of complaints, including: frequent delays in salary payment, lack of health insurance, facing suspension for demanding wages and overtime payments, and working without signed contracts. The workers are employed by the “Arab Technical Contracting Company” and  “United Development Company for Design.” 

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Marriott International, owners of The St. Regis chain, to respond to these allegations. According to Marriott International's response, a joint investigation led by both contractors did not find any labour, health, or safety violations. The response is available in full below.
