后续行动: Workers complained to the police who told them it was a labour case; when they tried filing a labour complaint they were told as it was a fraud case the police would be responsible. The supermarket's owner stated that they had only recently acquired the business; they claimed responsibility lay with the previous owner. Business & Human Rights Resource Centre reached out to invite Sea Bird Supermarket to comment on the allegations; it did not reply. In May 2020, Migrant Rights reported that the supermarket has since rebranded as Bluebird but the UAE Government has yet to resolve the issue.

Over 800 workers, including around 60 women, employed or recruited by Sea Bird Supermarket have been left stranded for more than a month in Dubai. All of them have paid... recruitment fees ('document fees') to the employer...
a worker representative says that the ordeal seems to be a case of outright recruitment fraud...
25 of these workers are in a dire state and require immediate help, as they have no food or accommodation... the police said this was a labour case. When they tried filing a labour complaint, they were told this was a fraud case and only the police would be able to deal with them.
