Immigrant workers

"The story of Dubai's immigrant construction workers shocks and depresses in several different stages. The poor and often illiterate men, who come here in their millions from the Indian sub-continent, are getting exploited from so many different angles that it's sometimes hard to know who to be angry at. It all starts in their home countries - often India or Bangladesh, where local recruitment agents promise them high salaries and generous overtime payments." (thansk Tanweer)
