DESCRIPTION:Labor System and Unrest in Saudi Arabia\nby Sharat G. Lin\n The system of 
 expatriate labor contracting in Saudi Arabia pays workers from different 
 countries entirely different wage scales for the same work, enslaves 
 workers by seizing their passports, bans unions, and establishes elaborate 
 systems of segregation and hierarchy. The labor system, employing as many 
 as 9 million foreign workers, was pioneered by U.S. oil companies and 
 management contractors. Deep-seated unrest lies just beneath the surface.\n 
 Sharat G. Lin writes on global political economy, labor migration, the 
 Middle East, and South Asia. He lived in Saudi Arabia, and travels 
 frequently to the region. He is a research fellow at the San Jose Peace and 
 Justice Center\nSee also: \nhttp://sfpl.org/?pg=0300000201 (Mary Louise
