Working in the Abu Dhabi

Are you ok with exploiting cheap labor?
Are you comfortable turning a blind eye when you see how construction workers live in tents and how they are treated/paid?
Would you pay your maid the current market rate or what you think is fair

What if something does happen and you need the law to be on your side and it is not

Spoken by someone who’s never been there, has never spoken to a laborer, has never been to a labor camp and reads Vice as the Gospel in Fact.

You are wrong on all accounts

Then you’d know labor camps do not have tents.

Oh come on. You can’t be defending this. Go or don’t go but don’t claim the slavery isn’t real.

Meh. I've livt a few places with Singapore being one of them. While very different cultures, their foreign labor model is basically identical. It's reality. You won't "speak with laborers" as an expat unless you go seeking to speak to them on their one day off in the community places they gather and honestly that's kind of ridiculous, they aren't there for you to go with your sociology studies mindset to "understand" them. They are people, working in shit conditions for low pay bc it's an opportunity to make at least better shit pay than in their particular circumstances in their countries of origin. I didn't have a "helper" Fwiw when I lived abroad but had the option since I was married. I didn't want someone living in my space and making no money, it just felt weird. But most expats do take advantage of this system. It's locals that jeep it going though, ALL of my local friends basically had an extra person raise them in their homes

No.you cannot. The cheap labor exchange programs are not like these. They just aren't.
