KUWAIT: About 100 female Bangladeshi workers filed a case against their employer with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour for failure to pay salaries. The women, who work for a cleaning company in Kuwait, claim that they have not received their salaries for the last four months.
The women earlier went on strike for two days to protest against the lack of wages and raise awareness of their plight. One of the workers told Al-Qabas "The company did not pay our salaries and some of us do not have valid residency because the company does not pay attention to workers' affairs."
The Social Affairs Ministry confirmed that a case had been filed and an investigation launched into the company's payment practices. A source in the ministry said that the company had agreed to send an agent to the ministry to meet with government officials and a representative for the striking employees.
