Saudi Arabia: Alumco (part of Ruwad Civil Construction) accused of failing to pay migrant workers' wages for months despite court ruling

Migrant-Rights.org's investigation finds that migrant workers of the aluminium company have not been paid since April 2019. Many of the workers have spent several months campaigning to recover their lost wages.

The workers interviewed state that they continued to work until July 2019 but then went on strike in an attempt to secure wages from the company which is owned by Ruwad Civil Construction (RCC). In December 40 workers were reportedly given an interim payment of 400 USD and promised the remaining amounts if they continued work; the other 110 workers were told their employment was terminated. In February 2020 a group of 50 workers took the company to court in an attempt to obtain payment and prevent their deportation. In March 2020 the Labour Court issued a decision that the workers should be paid for the period they worked with out pay in 2019 (April-July) but the workers have still not received payment.

A worker who detailed their plight on Facebook had his account disabled. Facebook subsequently confirmed that the account had been disabled in error and that it had now been restored.

We invited Alumco & Ruwad Civil Construction to respond but they did not.
