Not funny

Today hundreds of construction workers from India and Pakistan protested on the busy Sheikh Zayed Road during rush hour traffic, demanding months of unpaid wages. They were also protesting about the lack of clean drinking water and no water in their bathrooms in the labor camps where they reside. Probably about 6-8 people to a small room and they probably bed share as well. The night shift probably sleep in the beds during the day and day shift sleep there at night. They are hardly paid more than a few hundred pound sterling a month to build this city.

It's quite a sad sight. With all the money ploughing into this city, you'd think the people who build it would at least get paid. not a very striking image for the city which cares... I think they should have formed a strike 1 week later during Gitex - the busiest week of the year for that end of town.
