Dubai may deport 159 workers

Indian labourers went on strike and indulged in vandalism,several thousand manual workers downed tools and reportedly occupied and vandalised a building before attacking police and vehicles with stones on Saturday.

Such protests are rare in the UAE, where strike action is outlawed and workers are not allowed to form labour unions. The workers who were detained were residents of a sprawling labour camp adjoining Dubai’s Jebel Ali port.
