Steps by Qatar's 2022 World Cup organisers to put in place improved conditions for migrant workers have been welcomed by FIFA but criticised by trade union officials...A new [50-page] report from the Qatari authorities, entitled 'Workers' Welfare Standards', gives a comprehensive breakdown of the measures that 2022 organisers expect contractors and sub-contractors to employ once stadium and infrastructure projects get under way...But if Qatar thought their attempts at reform would be universally accepted, they found themselves on the receiving end of a barrage of criticism from the International Trade Union Confederation which claimed the guidelines were flawed, not least regarding the controversial kafala system which ties migrant workers to their jobs until and unless their "sponsor" employers give permission for them to leave the country.
