Construction union Ucatt slammed Fifa yesterday for once again ignoring the plight of migrant workers in Qatar after a task force announced that the tournament should be moved to the winter.
To move the tournament to November would get around playing in the summer heat but the decision ignored the two million migrant workers who are being forced to work six days a week in temperatures that reach 55 degrees.
The conditions of workers are slave like, wages are often withheld from workers for months on end and pay can be as low as 56p an hour.
