A high-ranking delegation from the Philippine Ministry of Labor is currently visiting Kuwait to find radical solutions to the problem of overcrowding of more than 500 Filipino workers in a building belonging to the embassy in the South Surra.
The Al-Jarida daily, quoting a reliable source said the delegation will hold a series of separate meetings, beginning with the officials of the employment file at the embassy, passing through the representatives of the Federation of Recruitment Agencies, and the officials of the Public Authority for Manpower represented by the Department for Regulating the Recruitment of Domestic Workers.
The daily indicated the delegation will visit the labor shelter center in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area, to inspect the workers who are held there until they leave the country.
The source stressed the need to find a radical solution to this problem, which was exacerbated by the refusal of the PAM labor shelter center to receive workers against whom absconding reports have been filed by their employers, calling on the Philippine embassy in the country to cooperate with the concerned government agencies, including the ministries of foreign affairs and the interior, to solve the problem of ‘women workers’ as quickly as possible.
