Migrant workers in the GCC have limited access to legal or governmental protection to exercise their labor rights. That’s why we formed the first-ever labor-led coalition fighting for the rights of migrant workers in the Gulf. Check out our new website to learn more: laborjusticegulfmigrants.org

🌡️ A Deadly Threshold: Workers at Risk Across industrial sectors, workers are enduring extreme heat as wet-bulb temperatures exceed the safe threshold of 32.1°C—conditions where the body’s cooling system fails, leading to severe health risks and even death. 🧵

🧵 1/3 As Gulf countries race to build solar farms and wind turbines, the human cost of this "green" transformation remains hidden. Many workers first fled climate disasters in their home countries - only to face temperatures of 55°C (131°F) while building renewable energy projects.

🚨 Equidem joins 20+ organizations in condemning FIFA's decision to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia. Ignoring the risks to workers, residents, and fans is a betrayal of FIFA’s own policies. This will lead to exploitation and injustice. #FIFA www.equidem.org/blogs/joint-...
