Industrial Relations: Indian workers stop work in Bahrain

The Bahrain Tribune, reports that more than 2,000 employees of a contracting company, mostly Indians, have stopped work protesting poor living conditions and lack of an allowance for working in a high-risk work environment in the Bahraini firm.
Of the 2,000 workers 1,489 were Indians and rest were Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalis and Filipinos.

Embassy officials of the four countries met the workers and the management of the Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) to iron out a solution to the problem.
