Qatari government under investigation over Qatar Airways employment practices

Global union organisations the ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation) and the ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation) have submitted a case against the state of Qatar to the ILO (International Labour Organization) in Geneva.

The case accuses the government of allowing Qatar Airways to violate ILO Convention 111 on Discrimination (Employment and Occupation), which Qatar signed as long ago as 1976.
