Actually, it was the construction workers on the Burj Dubai that I was reading about. They were getting paid $1 per hour, expected to work long hours, through the heat of the day, and often weren't given enough water. Then they were returned to massive hot dormitories without air conditioning, and then some of them decided they didn't have to pay them, either. After all, they can't leave, so why bother? Anyway, it was very bad.

There is a new minister or whatever, and he has instituted a sun break, so all work stops during the hottest part of the day, and took away some construction company's license to import workers because of the abuse. Apparently once that happens, you are out of business. Then they found new jobs for the workers.
