  In Dubai, like America, the companies should be forced to treat domestic workers fairly. It'd be really swell if those companies treated workers fairly in India as well and the population of Dubai could put pressure on India to improve working conditions but that's a sovereignty and economic question. I think it'd be really swell if standards of living across the globe were a lot more equalized, but that's not the world we live in. We can fix our own back yard but other nations are blocked by different base standards of living - we can influence that by, for instance, preferring to buy products from companies that treat overseas labour more fairly which will slowly transfer wealth and raise up those well off or, if you're bezos rich, I guess you could just try and wave a magic wand... but there just isn't enough domestic GDP to support higher wages in some countries.
