Report: Embassy construction workers face poor conditions
Reports are emerging of coerced labor and poor conditions for workers involved in the construction of a massive US embassy in Iraq.
Journalist David Phinney reports foreign construction workers contracted by the construction firm First Kuwaiti are living in overcrowed trailers, served low-quality food, abused by managers and subjected to unsafe conditions. A former medical technician says workers were deprived basic medical needs. The technician, Rory Mayberry, was dismissed just days after he complained to First Kuwaiti and U.S. officials.
