In the film, a guest worker from Nepal has his say and reports that he and his 90 colleagues have not received a salary for four months. The Ministry of Labor has now confirmed this process to the WDR in a written statement.
Construction company on prohibited list
The statement reads: “The Ministry of Labor’s wage protection system has previously addressed the late payment of wages at the authorities Gulf House Company for Trading and Contracting made aware. In response, the ministry fined the company and banned the company from receiving services from the ministry, such as hiring additional staff. The company will remain on the Prohibited List until all workers have been paid. “
Further consequences are possible
If the outstanding salaries are not paid, the ministry threatens further consequences that could lead to the company being blacklisted. The explosive thing about this case: The client for the work on the construction site on the kilometer-long promenade, the so-called Corniche in the center of Doha, is the Qatari government itself.
