A cap on the cost of bringing domestic workers to Bahrain could be introduced, after a majority of the Shura Council members voted in favour of amendments to the 2006 Labour Market Regulatory Law.
This was the second vote taken on the subject after council Chairman Ali Saleh Al Saleh halted the first attempt in February this year, saying the amendments were incomplete and lacked cohesiveness.
Of the 36 members present during the chamber’s weekly session yesterday, 34 voted in favour of the changes to the law while two abstained, including Mr Al Saleh.
