As part of its ongoing series, Letters to MR, Migrant-Rights.org carried a letter from workers at Meinhardt Bim Studio LLC (MBS) in Qatar who allege that they have not been paid their salaries for three or four months. Despite repeated requests by them to the company and the National Human Rights Commission in Qatar, the delays continue. The workers further alleged that MBS owes 80 employees and former employees a lot of money; most of them have not received their end of service settlement. They said that employees who resigned have been accused by the company of non-performance when they requested their end of service settlement.

The workers said that they have worked at various projects including the Hamad International Airport extension projects, two Qatar World Cup 2022 stadiums (Al Rayyan Stadium and Lusail Stadium Precinct) and Qetaifan Water Park project,
