Qatar to set up labour dispute panel
World Cup 2022 host Qatar, long criticised over the treatment of its vast migrant workforce, has decided to establish a panel to oversee labour disputes, state media reported yesterday.
The ministry of administrative development, labour and social affairs will set up the committee, with a judge at its head. Two ministry officials will also sit on the panel, under a cabinet decision.
"The committee is charged with settling all disputes related to the provisions of the labour law or a work contract in a period not exceeding three weeks," a statement on the Qatar News Agency said.
An appeals committee, also headed by a judge, will be established as well.
