SAUDI ARABIA— Construction Company Saudi Binladin Group on Friday dismissed 50,000 workers and were issued permanent exit visa, Saudi newspaper al-Watan quoted unnamed sources as saying.
All 50,000 of those dismissed were foreign nationals were demanding payment of their entitlements before departing from the Kingdom.
Saudi gazette said, however, many are refusing to leave the Kingdom until they receive their wages stretching back as far as four months and were protesting in front of the company’s administrative office almost daily, the paper furthered.
Like other construction companies, Binladen has also been negatively affected by the slump in oil prices as the government cut spending in a bid to plug a budget deficit.
