#3 Article: Other workers said their leaders were asking for pay raises: skilled carpenters on the site earned $7.60 per day, with laborers getting $4 per day.

These are Chinese wages. I'm surprised these guys don't get an expat stipend - Dubai is pretty expensive compared to Bangladesh or Pakistan.

#6 I make a point to stay out of any place where the labor is paid slave wages.
