Why is Qatar hesitant in...

Qataris shld demand to change the law and order of U.S now

believe me specially the ones who r getting get cat allowance

Saudi has the same system.

Sadly, its a case of supply and demand. They know that expatriates will willingly come here , knowing the systems in place..

With the Sponsorship System in place, qataris have a great control over the expatriates. They can control the inflow of population from around the world. They can monitor that their resources are not stolen away from them. Most of all, Sponsorship system gives them the secured feeling that Qatar is for Qataris ONLY and that Qataris are in control over the other nationalities.

When one may say that Qatar is not being fair to the expatriates by not allowing them to choose better jobs, I would say the system is the only way through which Qatar can safe guard its natural resourses having everything under their control!

If only India (or any other country) had this system (or the like), Indians would not have lost everything valuable to the "others" who came in for trade and ended looting the country leaving India with nothing but poverty and calling it freedom!!

Hope you're not going to ask for the diamond back :O(

hahahaha
Britexpat, Lost is lost forever!!
chill... ;)

This 'relationship' between two parties becomes so 'sticky' over a period of time that it hurts [ like a 'ship' is being broken ] whenever tried to break even though temporarily ... & then it comes to a sticky end.

brit, Our History book says, we fought and won. not that you guys just "gave".... ;)
Chance to grow and mature? after wipping clean all the wealth?
Yet We're growing...

they shld become more strict like Saudi

Many senior Qatari business men are against this change and are holding up the legislation. They feel they have too much to lose if their slaves, sorry workers, could change company and exit the country (and even get married) without their permission.

ya so why does it bother u ? if they aint bothered abt ur country affairs .. u too can mind ur own business and the locals theirs

<<...here had been efforts to establish a Labour Committee to protect the interests of the workers, whether Qataris or expatriates. “However, the committee should be formed of Qataris only. {hahahahahahahahahaha}
Expatriates will have the right to vote but will not be nominated as members of the board,” >>

Qatar can't abolish the sponsorship system, and reason is locals, cuz then they won't be able to control, they won't be able to earn extra money from those 10's of companies registered on their name running/funding by expatriates!
But they can work out on their exit permit system, if they can't abolish it, at least they can make it more easy and favorable for the expatriates

Why exit permit?
1. Protect Local sponsor interest? ermmm. They had rich enough..its time to give their 'slave' a life! ;P
2. Prevent loan absconder-no issue, salary paid thro' bank, loan paid with auto debit! Unless unauthorised approval and the company is closed.
3. etc..tell me pls
The main issue is the company took advantage and use the exit permit system to 'kill' the staff softly and put ppl to modern day slavery. Did local sponsors check their 'slaves' !? Why workers want to quit, why employer wanna hold...Peace!

Its all about Qatari insecurity.....

I don't understand why sposorship law should be "eleminated". Sponsorship for the foreign employees is existing in the entire world. Why Qatar has to abolish this law?

when workers want job, they are ready to forget about all this. But once they are well settled in jobs they tend to cry for all this. You can always opt to come if things meet your needs. No ones forcing you to come here.

A 'sponsor' is a person who SUPPORTS another person. The problem is, that they don't even know how to spell the word correctly here.

You re talking about a minority of the total workforce. Most expatriates are employed by recognised companies with proper visas.

sorry to burst your bubble mate. I think majority are under tom/dick/harry companies and minority are with big names. Also, depending on what passport you have, even the big names have second class worker treatment for people with non-western passports.

Londonlad - spot on!

Doha-infidel, they are doing it in KSA, Saudians are doing it, even they became beggars in the country with 25% oil of the world!
sooner or later Qatari will do it, Just matter of time!
Karma is a b!t!ch,
I really want to see their dead bodies waiting for payments in cold storage!
