About Me
- Desert Girl
- American semi-Kuwaiti living, working, eating, boating, and observing in Kuwait. Born in America, but raised with Kuwaitis, I get culture shock on both continents. No one understands me, but my dog, and she still gives me strange looks once in a while. I do not accept payment for advertising; I won't entertain the thought. If I think your product or service is worthy of discussion, I will post about it. If I help you, you can send me pink roses. If you are interested in reading about the Bedoun cause in Kuwait, see my posts which are tagged "Bedoun Civil Rights Movement".
Life in the Desert
I danced in the desert,
I swam by the shores,
I spent warm nights under starlit blankets of silver,
I made friends from far-away places
I ate and drank and savored it all
I loved and was loved
What more could anyone ask for?

what is the point of these laws when it is typical that companies in Kuwait ignore them, especially when it comes to Filipino, Indian, etc. workers?
Gee, I dunno. What is the point of having laws?
sorry, only wanted to point out that many companies in Kuwait ignore these laws and it does not seem that there is any government agency that will enforce these laws especially for those that do not have wasta. I know plenty of Filipinos, Indians, etc. that have to work hours, days, etc. in violation of these laws...
As an labour law attorney here in Kuwait, I have reviewed this website and it is full of inaccuracies. Please do not rely on this website.
I completely understand, William. It is all very frustrating. The labor law does very little to protect the people who need it the most. Most of the people from the countries you mentioned (and more) are not protected from repercussions from their employers if they file cases at the Ministry of Social Affairs & Labor. It is the, "We'll just get another one" mentality. Ethical behavior, integrity, decency aren't ideals that most companies strive for.
Sad, because most companies are only as good as the people they employ. Treat them well, and they help grow your business.
Paul - Really? Ooops. I didn't look at it thoroughly. I'm still wondering who is running it. I don't believe it is official.
