“For people who want to go get a Filipino domestic worker, what are these ridiculous work contracts you’ve got to sign? The woman I met with was reading out the rules to me and I was just shocked. Put aside that they need to be given a break every five hours, that’s normal. But, how can you have a ‘servant’ in your house who gets to keep their passport with them? Where are we living? If they ran away and went back to their country, who’ll refund me?,” she said.
Al Qattan didn’t stop at that but also went on to object to a rule that grants a worker a day off per week.
“Even worse, is that they get a day off every single week! What’s left? Honestly, with this new contract, I just wouldn’t ‘get’ a Filipino ‘maid.’ She’d only work six days a week and get four days off a month,” she added.
lol steal everything she’s got and bust her face up on the way out
For years we’ve been talking about how slave labour of ‘migrant workers’ from Somalia the Philippines Pakistan Nepal AND MORE is alive and well in the khaleeji states and for years these fuckers have been lining up to say
‘This is propaganda!! We treat migrant workers with respect!! Their conditions aren’t as bad as they say!! They’re just greedy!! You just hate Arabs so you’re making lies about us!!’
Enough. All of the gulf states EVERY ONE OF THEM was built by slave labourers. Do not vacation there. Do not ogle its luxuries. All of these countries are a fucking mirage built atop corpses of young slave labourers and I’m so fucking thrilled this piece of trash decided to oust herself.
