Employer stabs worker for demanding salary

A lady working in a beauty salon in Kuwait was stabbed by her employer when she asked for her delayed salary.

The story went viral on social media where many felt sorry for the worker and called on the Kuwaiti authorities to punish the employer.

Salama, a Kuwaiti girl, said that after a month of work, all employees wait to get their salaries, and it is a terrible thing to hold a worker’s salary no matter whatever the reason was.

Khalid, another Kuwaiti man, said details of the case showed that there was an argument between the salon owner and the worker, but no matter what the reason was, the owner must have control himself and not stabbed her.

“Luckily she did not die otherwise he would have paid for this crime heavily.”

Others on social media blamed the worker, and said that most of the private business owners face problems with these workers.

Marwa, a Kuwaiti girl, said majority of these workers come here with no experience. The owner of the salon trains them and spends hefty money on them, then they ask for salary increase, she said.

“It is difficult situation; I don’t blame the owner of the salon as she must have been very rude to him and that is why he stabbed her.”
