Getting organized? :: Chan'ad Bahraini

Chan'ad Bahraini notices something about the recent labor unrest at the site of the Burj Dubai - a sympathy strike by workers at the construction site of the new DBX international terminal:

It seems that there may be some coordination and solidarity between workers on different work sites. I wonder on what level and to what extent this is taking place. It will be interesting to see if anything similar happens in the future, and how the employers and authorities will respond to any coordinated action.

Also, you might recall that workers at Dubai’s new airport terminal, who are also employees of Al Naboodah Laing, went on strike in September 2004.
