FIFA slammed over migrant workers abuse in Qatar
‘A prominent campaigning group has criticized soccer’s international governing body FIFA for its inaction over the plight of migrant construction workers in Qatar who are busy preparing venues for the 2022 World Cup in the Persian Gulf state.
The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), the world’s largest trade union federation, urged FIFA sponsors, including Coca-Cola, Visa and McDonald’s, to use their position and address the maltreatment of hundreds of thousands of migrant laborers at the hands of their Qatari employers.
The FIFA sponsors have the power to pressure both FIFA and Qatar into improving the horrific working conditions in the Arab country.’
