An unidentified Asian road worker protects himself from the harsh sun and heat, in the village of Dumistan, Bahrain Sunday, May 10, 2009. Labour rights groups on Wednesday May 6 2009 welcomed Bahrain's decision to become the first Gulf Arab state to end a system binding foreign workers to employers, a practice critics say is open to abuse. The small island state's minister of labor, Majeed al-Alawi, said the new policy would create a "more liberalized and dynamic" labour market by allowing workers to move from one employer to another.
