This refers to ‘Job ban unfair’ (GDN, June 7) by Billy. I honestly feel that nobody understands Labour Market Regulatory Authori-ty’s goals in totality.
\nHistorically, people have set up ghost companies and have virtually sold visas to people from poor countries at exorbitant amounts.
\nWhat about their morals?
\nDo they care how these poor people will manage that amount? They have their own network and everything is well planned.
\nAlso, by not allowing an expatriate worker to be free to join any other company is a slavery of sort.
\nAre you telling us that employers have never abused the law?
\nHaven’t they ever taken advantage of an expat by asking him to work long hours?
\nMost of the free visa cases have been reported in medium to small-sized companies.
\nAnd yet there are many companies that still insist on keeping employees’ passports.
\nNow, if you bring someone from abroad, pay him well and motivate him, why would he\/she leave you.
\nI am sure nobody makes a decision to leave a company only for a BD50 difference.
\nBut there is a collective of factors starting from hours of work, timely payment, medical and other costs. The bottom line is – if you don’t trust someone don’t hire.
\nI salute the mega corporate whose visionary Arab leaders have upheld human values above everything.
\nThese are the people who are blessed by God and have sprawling empires.
\nI feel LMRA is a step in the right direction, they have been here for barely a year, give them some more time for their efforts and initiatives to bear fruits.
