Murphy challenges Blatter to visit Qatar
Steve Murphy gave evidence to the Council of Europe yesterday regarding the continued exploitation of migrant construction workers in Qatar.
Construction union Ucatt general secretary Murphy challenged Fifa president Sepp Blatter to actually visit the World Cup sites in Qatar alongside Ucatt and witness first-hand the conditions workers are forced to work under.
He also believed that the 2022 World Cup should be used as the catalyst to end the plight of migrant construction workers.
