| What can be done to improve workers' conditions? | | | | In a new programme, Blood Sweat and Tears, Al Jazeera takes a revealing look at the appalling conditions facing many of the 10 million Asian labourers in the Persian Gulf, most of whom come from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Is enough being done to improve the plight of such workers? Do you live in the Persian Gulf or any of the affected countries and, if so, what do you think? |

Lots of Bangladeshi is working in gulf countries. I think about one million Bangladeshi worker works in Middle East country. They are huge contribute our economy. Also they are lots of contribute Middle East economy development. I think not only Bangladeshi this region like south Asia about ten million people are working in Middle East. But this worker is not always continuing their job easy. Some times they face huge problem. They face first their visa, contact and service problem. Second accommodation problem. They are huge suffering for that. After that they face their salary problem. Lots of worker said they are not get money according to contact. Their sweat, tears roll down, some time they lost their life. But their own county and the country where they go both are not shows any kind of responsibility for them. We need to monitor their situation and established an organization that take care them and try to solve their problem.
