"A unified GCC system that governs household workers’ recruitment and work
would strengthen the position of member states in negotiations with
labor-exporting countries, said Saad Nahar Al-Baddah, chairman of the Foreign
Recruitment Committee. Among the “recent issues” Al-Baddah indicated are the
housemaids on death row after killing their employer.
Sahar Al-Kabi, chairperson of the human resources committee at the
Federation of GCC Chambers, said it is necessary for the ministers to form
regulatory decisions to tackle the increasing number of issues related to
household workers in the region and deal with exporting countries’
attempts to impose their conditions." (thanks Basim)
