'New law'focuses on work permits

Draft legislation under review targets negligent employers

Courts will not protect welfare or other labor rights of foreigners working without a work permit, even workers under contract, if a draft law is passed.

Foreigners without a work permit or an expert certificate - a license issued by the government to some foreign workers with proven talent and expertise in their field - could lose the cover of the "labor relationship" with the employer in the courts, even if they are under contract.
