THE ITUC and Playfair Qatar slammed the Swiss courts yesterday for rejecting trade union claims that Fifa should have forced Qatar to abolish its disgusting labour laws before being awarded the 2022 World Cup.

The Bangladeshi Free Trade Union Congress, Bangladesh Building and Wood Workers Federation and Dutch Trade Union Confederation (FNV) threatened to sue football’s governing body in October over the continued abuse of migrant workers in Qatar.

However, the court decided that Fifa have done no wrong, something ITUC general secretary Sharan Burrow strongly disagrees with.
