The Dirty Secret Behind the NYU, Louvre, Guggenheim Projects in Abu Dhabi

(New York, February 10, 2015) - Serious concerns about workers’ rights have not been resolved for a high-profile project in Abu Dhabi that will host branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums and a campus of New York University (NYU). These institutions should make their continued engagement with the Saadiyat Island project contingent on the developers’ commitment to more serious enforcement of worker protections and the compensation of workers who suffered abuses, including those arbitrarily deported after they went on strike.

Shopinique Co I’m pretty sure if you or your family were having to work like this you wouldn’t have the same view. Just because it’s happened it doesn’t mean it’s right, especially when companies have the money to spend.

(This is in response to the vulgar things that "ramo me" is saying about christians and muslims when this video has nothing to do with religion at all. I hope nobody takes his nasty words as anything but the rantings of a nationalistic, racist cretin). Peace be upon Jesus/Isa` alayhi salam and David alayhi salam and Joseph alayhi salam, may Allah's curse be upon those who slander and insult them. “Beware of the supplication of the oppressed and unjustly treated, because there is no shelter or veil between it and Allah.” Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Ya Allah make these oppressed men successful in this life and the next, ameen.
