    Saudi Arabia Stadium update

    Coming along nicely. I didn't think they could do it until someone who once worked there told me they use immigrant labor around the clock & aren't constrained to labor laws like we have here in the U.S

          Things go both and any way.
          You morons pay people at Zonas Francas les than 200 dollars a month for 12 hours a day jobs. 6 days a week.

          But you turn your heads when someone tells you your moronic USA companies go to other places to do that. On top of it, they import everything from China and then blame the Chinese. F arses.

            The kafala system, present in a number of other ****** countries, governs the conditions and processes for employment of foreigners. Under this system, all non-Saudis present in the country for employment purposes must have a sponsor, which is usually arranged months in advance.[29] Unlike countries which recognize the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (which declares in part "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own")[30] Saudi Arabia requires foreign workers to have their sponsor's permission to enter and leave the country, and denies exit to those with work disputes pending in court. Sponsors generally confiscate passports while workers are in the country; sometimes employers also hold passports of workers' family members.



            Bit more than just long hours, man, it's a system that in the worse cases amounts to slavery with workers having no rights, in a foreign country and utterly dependent on their employer, indeed there's been reports of workers simply not getting paid and then just not being allowed to leave the country if they make a fuss or being charged with bogus crimes.

            That said it would be perfectly possible to construct a stadium on that schedule whilst adhering to US or European labour laws and safety standards, in fact there's companies that specialise in quick build prefab and temporary stadia.

              Is this a real stadium ? Nope,it fills what 8/12 K ppl ? This is nothing more then a similar set up for a rock concert at times which is set to be taking down when its over.

              Things like this take less then a week to construct ,I worked in local 1stagehands union and set bigger events up in N.Y even in house then central park concerts so save the ****** comments for someone else, I told you guys we can build this in a matter of day if need be.

                100 workers will perish under the inhumane conditions needed to build that arena in time, but it will all be worth it on December 7th when Andy solidifies his status as Unified Champion and calls out Deontay Wilder to fight for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World.

                  And how is it different from Mexican workers who're treated like ****** in the US?

                  Even in the UK, a lot of Eastern Europeans work in inhumane conditions and are paid crumbs, far below the minimum wage. I know developers who bring in Romanians and pay them as low as £3ph and leave them to live in uncompleted buildings with no heating because they have nowhere to stay. It's even worse when you go to farms in the country.
