According to Al-Bilad daily newspaper, the LMRA has discovered during one inspection visit, 600 unofficially-regulated workers working in just one facility.<\/p>\n<p>The LMRA study urged for enforcement of legal action against employers who exploit the facilitation given by recruiting more expatriate workforce with the sole purpose of abandoning them as free-roaming workers. Most free-roving or runaway workers are workers who have not been given the chance to work for their employers\/sponsors and who therefore were restrained to seek other jobs and to work as roaming peddlers or hawkers, or in car washing or garbage collection and recycling, etc. Free-roving(free-visa) or runaway expatriate workers have often contributed to complicating the problems of local communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manama: Dec. 30 \u2013 (BNA) A study, conducted by the Labor Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) published on today&#8217;s Al-Bilad edition, revealed that the issue of unofficially-regulated expatriate workforce in the Kingdom of Bahrain,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[143,410,474],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
