It’s difficult to know what to believe about the success or not of the government’s flexi-work permit policy.
LMRA officials (GDN, September 1) say it has led to 43 per cent drop in the number of illegal migrant workers.
Yet Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and industry claims it is allowing unfair competition with citizens.
This is unlikely, as monthly fees for holders of flexible work permits, are six times those imposed on regular workers.
Also amnesty periods have also been successfully used to manage layoffs in the labour market.
Time to compromise, chaps?
