[edit] Status

the dubai mall it's under construction or it's on hold?

[edit] labour and working conditions

This is a very generalised BIASED view of the working conditions in dubai and dubai mall. This is a conscious effort to malign the DUBAI MALL AND UAE. Labour practices in dubai mall are better than world wide standards.

maybe it should be "disputed" then, I don't think its necessarily that baised as having been there it seemed to be common knowledge, though I never read any facts to support it. Gtadoc 20:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (reply)

Hi Charlesknight, I just wanted to drop a suggestion. Maybe you should add a "neutrality of this article/section is disputed" link so we can discuss it further here in the discussion section. If nothing else, it will at least draw people into a discussion, and hopefully, if there is exploitation going on (and I don't doubt it), at the very least, more people will be informed of it. I would add it myself, but feel it would be more appropriate coming from you, since you brought it up (even though I do think it merits discussion).... JeffF

I agree, it merits further discussion into whether there is a labour issue on this build. Fishyghost 16:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


This has already been discussed in length on the Talk page for Burj Dubai. Here is the link to the discussion: Talk:Burj_Dubai#Labor_Practice_Controversy and Talk:Burj_Dubai#Wrong_Labor_claims. --Jibran1

[edit] Page is Outdated and Now Inaccurate

This page needs to be updated to reflect new information that has recently been revealed with regards to Dubai Mall. One aspect of the article that is incorrect given the new information are the figures reflecting the size of the mall. See http://www.gulfnews.com/business/Development/10204211.html for more information. 66.131.70.249 (talk) 09:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
