KUWAIT: The complaint and social care committee at the KPC has launched an awareness campaign among foreign workers, to let them know of their employee rights, as written in their contracts. The campaign which lasted for two days was titled, 'Know your rights,' and involved field trips to workers' dormitories in Mangaf, Mahboula and Al-Shuaiba Industrial areas.
