The government has called on Parliament to reconsider a proposed amendment to the 2006 Labour Market Regulatory Law that would exempt employers from paying the costs of repatriating or deporting foreign workers, warning that the change could undermine contractual fairness and the stability of Bahrain’s labour market.
The call came in a government memorandum issued after the draft legislation was referred to Parliament by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister .
