great to see other people start showing the world, that dubai isnt always what it seems to be. I myself have done some photojournalistic work in one of the labour camps in dubai as well. Lets raise some awareness and show the truth.
I have been in Dubai for a couple of months, my UK based company have given me the task of transforming the performance of the sub continent workforce. Today I moved my guys into better digs, they were sleeping 4 to a room, cooking in the same small space, which was crawling with lice and cockroaches. How can anyone be expected to do a 12 hour shift then come back to this? No wonder performance has suffered
The journalist promised the manager that she wouldn't publish this report !!! Even after he said he was going to be in trouble if she did !! She talks about ethics, where are her ethics here??
I dont see anything wrong with the video, do you? They seem to be well fed, clean, they have running water, washers and dryers, cell phones, A/C, bicycles, etc. Im not making this up, just watch the video! You dont see ANY of that in Pyongyang videos, have you?DAMN! A little paint and is a Resort !
Compared to my country that´s not bad for a construction worker. Maybe it is not pretty and maybe smells funny, but it does look very well organized and at least they have A/A.
Thats a simpel example of the economy in the world. If you want luxury you will ever have poorness. The best example is Dubai, on one side the world richest people on other side the poor worker from India and Pakistan.
this is true very small room 8 people living in one room,no there drinking cold water,labour working one day 12 to 15 hr.and pay only $50 cent pr hr.i waste 5 years my life there.dubai people is very good.but all company from out side dubai .they r not good.they not look after labour
REALLY? Did you see the video?? You just happened to make a comment on this one, please tell me what is wrong with it. Slaves didnt have running water, cell phones, beds,washers, A/C, clothes, and all the stuff you see here. Most people in Cuba dont have any of those things, looks like a normal neighborhood in Havana, not even a poor one. AND, waaaaay better than India, no offense to anybody.
@h00056352 By the way, India is one of the richest countries in the world, and most of these workers are NOT Indian and no, they get two handfuls of rice a day to eat, they wear the same two sets of clothes daily (one for working, one for home), their passports get confiscated, they are forced in debt, so they dont have money, and just look at their "labor camps" why dont you try to stay for a minute in one.
this isn't THAT bad... it's worse in many parts of the world... about 10 times as worse... open sewers, makeshift zinc huts, scraps of wood put together... if you look at the airconditioners above the doorways.. that's even provided. In other countries you'll get 12 guys crammed into a room with triple bunk beds, double-loaded corridors with no cross ventilation and no airconditioning, i'm speaking hot sticky modern malaysia, indonesia singapore and thailand...
I love that people justify shitty conditions by saying there are worse to be met elsewhere. Or the, "at least the fat cats are employing people" defense. Given to the profits this place was designed to make, these conditions are a downright unethical exploitation.
please upload more of this kind of videos to expose the real face of these scumbags arab countries.. thanks for sharing this video to show the horrible condition of these poor people who go work in other country for a change in their life.
Dubai is only a fancy land far from the reality that advertisers who formulate lies. It is the Egypt of the bible when the Israelites were under pharaoh's stronghold charged with hard labour. However, many of the workers died through illnesses, malnurishement,some died of accidents.
in this documentary this honorable lady is showing the real dirty senless face of the so called muslim country uae dubai govt, who treats these labourers worst then dirt waste, even most of these labours are their so called muslims brothers. i pitty on their bad condition and their accomodation and for a few bucks they work, their monthly salary is equel to the dubai people spend in a day for their food. we need to show to the world that please treat everyone as you treat yourself.
Brave journalist... simply wanna say Thank You !!!

bad journalist promised the manager that she wouldn't publish this report
"she wouldn't publish this report" -> "in the news", that is. looks like you missed some follow up words
She's from where?? The journalist
I pray in the future that reporters will be more mindful of those they hope to report. The lack of professionalism and sincerity is disconcerting.
Mercy. That was painful.
Welp here we are 7 years later. Sorry
Good job i.m right comment alcos video

I used to live in this kind of camp. DEPA camp, so hard
this makes me wanna play Tropico 3
I used to see these guys everday when I lived in the ME. I always felt so badly for them - they are treated like SHIT.
This camp is better than some other camps in UAE. Somewhere no sufficient toilets too. The toilets are also dirty.
I dont see anything wrong with the video, do you? They seem to be well fed, clean, they have running water, washers and dryers, cell phones, A/C, bicycles, etc. Im not making this up, just watch the video! You dont see ANY of that in Pyongyang videos, have you?DAMN! A little paint and is a Resort !
Good job,I was a little worried about here for a minute. I think we all suspected something like this $10.00/day.
wow bold lady..go on with your bad self...Good job.

So you need privacy to drink water? Is that what you are saying?

@Mrparrot73 not Muslims, Arabs, many Muslims who arent Arabs arent like that. Its the Arabs...

I don't believe this goes on in a place like Dubai, where everything is so Modern, then you got a 3rd world hell for the workers, this is so sad
please upload more of this kind of videos to expose the real face of these scumbags arab countries.. thanks for sharing this video to show the horrible condition of these poor people who go work in other country for a change in their life.
agar Indian government chahe toh india main hi facilities good honi chahiye phir koi apna ghar desh chod kar na jaye

This is teh fault of Indian contractors, now arab companys
Seriously, tell me what is wrong or so bad in this video? . . . . . . Gimme some "substance" like you said. Does that make you feel smart?
