"Witholding wages, overtime without pay, etc. etc. are extremely common. What's a worker to do?"

Those are at least LEGAL immigrant workers in Dubai. Here, they're often illegal. Many of them often aren't paid AT ALL for their final check - who're they going to complain to? If THEY riot, they all get deported to Mexico.

But workers complain their employers often withhold pay. They enjoy few legal protections and no minimum wage, work in the extreme heat, and many of them live in military-style desert camps.

That's spot on!

Read the local version linked above, the worker's complaints are 100% legitimate. Witholding wages, overtime without pay, etc. etc. are extremely common. What's a worker to do?

Is the problem company specific? It sounds like it might be from the local article.
