Bahrain: Two cases before the Labour Ministry hear how workers did not report wage delays "out of fear"; incl. co. response

In January 2020, GDN reported on two cases of workers experiencing wage delays.

In [the first] case, 600 migrant workers at an unnamed Bahraini construction company alleged they had not been paid for four months. At the time of reporting they had been striking for four days. The workers on projects for this company had been employed on a number of Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) projects.

In the second case 15 men working for an unnamed civil engineering and construction company alleged they had not been paid for eight months.

Workers in both cases stated they had not approached labour authorities "out of fear".

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre contacted BAPCO to invite them to respond to the allegations of labour abuse, as a major client for the contractor. BAPCO's response can be read in full below.
