Workers were allegedly forced to live in cramped, dirty barracks and work up to 72 hours straight.
The lawsuit was filed by Filipino workers who helped build stadiums that hosted the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
The nearly 40 plaintiffs in a complaint filed in federal court in Denver, Colorado, said Jacobs and several subsidiaries that oversaw the construction projects forced workers to live in cramped, dirty barracks and work up to 72 hours straight in blistering heat without food and water. The government of Qatar has said that far fewer workers were killed or injured, and in 2020 raised the country’s minimum wage and applied it to foreign workers for the first time.
