Two more cases of wage disputes being probed

See all tags Allegations

Two more cases of non-payment of wages at companies in Bahrain are being investigated...

at least 600 expatriate employees at a construction company downed their tools last week, claiming they had not been paid for four months...

15 men working for a civil engineering and construction company’s portable buildings unit claimed they had not been paid for the past eight months.

In both the cases the employees said they had not officially registered complaints with labour officials “out of fear”...

The men [in the first case] have been engaged in major ongoing projects including Bapco refinery, Bapco Club, Awali Hospital staff quarters, military projects in Safra and Coastguard projects in Muharraq.
