It's very hard being a labour worker in Dubai!

A friend of mine works in a construction company in Dubai. A couple of days back he came back to home on a one month leave. He explained me his daily routine as a worker. According to him they make them work 12 hours a day, while paying only 600 AED a month. And also they give a small room to 15 to 20 guys combined with 6 or 7 triple decker beds. Also he said the work is very hard to do and only because of his family's financial position he is working there, otherwise he would never do such kind of hard work.

According to him, they don't even get enough time to sleep. He used to be very nice, I mean, his habits.. but now he got used to chewing tobacco many times a day, and taking alcohol two times a day. I told him to stop these bad habits. He simply smiled at me and said that he would guarantee I too would become like him if I was also a labour worker in Dubai. The work is slowly killing him???
