Workers at Trump's Dubai Golf Club forced to take out loans because he...doesn't...PAY. [View all]



An explosive New York Times expose by Peter Goodman reports that migrant workers from India, Pakistan and Nepal are consistently paid late by Trump International contractors — forcing their families in Asia to take out loans to cover delayed remittances.

“He has countless amounts of money!” a 24-year-old Pakistani “fumed” to The Times. “We are very far away from our houses, from our children, our families. It hurts us.”

The Dubai golf course officially opened shortly after President Donald Trump was sworn-in as President of the United States. It includes a “gated complex of 4,000 luxury villas and 7,500 condos selling for up to $4 million each.”

“The migrant workers make $200 to $400 a month, money that frequently comes weeks or months late, prompting recent strikes, according to interviews conducted by The New York Times with two dozen current and former workers at the Damac Hills course, where hundreds of laborers have been employed in recent years,” Goodman reported. “The workers say they struggle to cover debts amassed in paying recruitment agents for their jobs, while confronting physical hardships and violations of their rights under local labor laws.”
