Manama: The General Federation of Bahrain Trade Unions (GFBTU) is calling for an improvement of the labourers' working and living conditions and for taking stringent action against local contractors who disregard safety standards.
The federation raised the concerns after three Bangladeshi workers died last Friday in a fire that gutted a run-down building, adding that the law should be fully applied against those responsible for the death of the labourers.
