Ergriffene Maßnahmen: The workers filed a complaint with the Committees for the Settlement of Labour Disputes but the worker did not attend the mediation session, on appearing at the second meeting he denied the men worked for him, refused to pay wages and offered only to provide them with Qatar IDs to allow them to work legally in the country. Four men accepted a flight ticket home and stipend for a fraction of what they owed. One worker did receive two of the three months' salary but did not provide QID, only buying him a ticket home.
