He said foreign workers in future will be eligible to receive all the same benefits as domestic workers due to the revision of Qatar’s labour law. He also emphasised on sending skilled workers from Bangladesh to various fields suitable for Qatar’s growing labour market.
Apart from this, he informed, a welfare fund has been established for workers employed in Qatar. Money is paid from this fund if an employer fails to pay dues, said Marri. He also emphasised on Bangladeshi workers staying there to abide by the laws of Qatar.
Qatar’s Ministry of Labour Assistant Undersecretary Hassan Al Obaidli, Ambassador of Bangladesh to Qatar Md Jasim Uddin, Director General of Manpower Employment and Training Bureau (BMET) Shahidul Alam and Additional Secretary of the Ministry Mallik Anwar Hossain and others were present in the meeting.
