Social media users have shared video footage of construction workers in Qatar going on strike in response to the inhumane working conditions they have dealt with during stadium construction for the upcoming 2022 World Cup.

The strike began on Sunday with thousands of workers protesting on the outskirts of one of their work-sites.

There are up to 28,000 migrant workers helping build/renovate the eight stadiums Qatar needs for the World Cup, with those workers receiving the equivalent of about $1 dollar an hour to work in extremely hazardous conditions.

One of the main reasons for this strike is that these workers paltry wages are often delayed, meaning that workers are essentially not receiving immediate compensation for the work they are doing, something that is necessary for the survival of them and their families.

When it comes to worker safety, working conditions in Qatar have been abysmal, with an average of one worker per workday dying during stadium construction and reports projecting that the death toll could even reach 4,000 people by the time the World Cup starts.
