Although we may not subscribe to or deem possible a Marxian worker's utopia, when will the companies in Kuwait wholeheartedly embrace basic worker's rights and truly believe in the dignity of labour? perhaps we are asking for too much. As a final line of protection, workers need the protection of the labour ministry and the full weight of support their countries embassies Sad to see those pixs and truly grateful that a small group of people on this forum were concerned enough to bring it up and then follow it up.

This happens in a lot of the gulf countries, but by the looks of it... Kuwait is advancing in some form compared to the rest. Its a proud moment and do wish that the wonderful effort put in continues. Kudos to this blog and to all those who lend a helping hand....

There are lot of abuses and major violations in kuwait. I have seen maids being badly bruised, ill treated, beated and thrown off 3rd floors. Women working in chocolate factories in kuwait for 12+ hours straight without any rest or any benefits. Cleaners being beaten for no reason whatsoever after they have worked for the entire day outside. There are lot of labour violations in kuwait. There are lot of abuses and major violations in kuwait.
