The Dubai Workers Who Built The New Apple HQ Roof Have Not Been Paid For Months

A Dubai based construction company, commended for its involvement in two notable Apple projects, among others, has not been fulfilling employee wage contracts in recent months.

According to The National, Dubai’s Premier Composite Technologies, which supplied materials for both the new Apple HQ in Cupertino, California and the recognisable solar-powered wing-doors at the Apple store in Dubai Mall has not paid employees for months.

The company was reportedly in a similar position in January with unpaid wages which was attributed to unpaid contracts at the time.

A member of staff contacted the HR department who could not confirm definitely when cheques will resume.
