In just less than a week after the hullabaloo of the mistaken identity of OFW Jason Aguilar that left him with a shattered dream, another alarming news of 42 OFWs, who have also lost their OFW dreams, is taking place in the neighboring desert of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They have been allegedly locked up after complaining of unjust labor practices by their employer, operation and construction firm Annasban Group. They have been isolated, discriminated and probably harassed for protesting to alleged unfair labor practices by their company.
Migrante-Middle East reported that the OFWs have gone to the extent of planning to stage a hunger strike to compel the government to speed up efforts for their repatriation.
Here's the story of the Protesting OFWs in Saudi asking RP to repatriate them. We are paging on the Philippine Overseas Labor Office-POLO at the Philippine Embassy (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), the OWWA and the POEA to expedite the repatriation of our fellow OFWs.
