In that respect, what Dubai is doing is little different from what Canada and the US did in building their railroads with very low paid Chinese labourers - so in some ways it's a little unkind for us to throw stones.
One the other hand, we do live in what we like to think is a more enlightened age and so, IMO, we should - globally - be making more of an effort to treat all workers to a certain standard, at least when they are working in first world countries like Dubai.
