Poor workers, it doesn't work out for them either way. Expect Qatar to deport them, or to make them work on other, just as dangerous projects, as revenge.
The only Gulf country with actual labour laws is the UAE. If they wanted it in the Gulf, it would be the best spot.
In the best interest Qatar should be stripped and possibly make it a 'Middle East' World Cup shared by nations with fair working rights.

Russia needs to keep their world cup though, seriously its World War 3 if the lose it! Putin ain't gonna let the United States and the FBI take his World Cup away for nothing.
England can forget about a World Cup anytime soon, nobody in FIFA likes them to vote for them.
So we invent the game they love, and this is how they repay us? IFAB should never have given so much voting power to FIFA.
England invented professional football in it's modern terms.
Football as a game was invented a millennia ago, it was probably around at the dawn of time. The earliest commercial interpretations where in China while the Incas used to play football with the decapitated heads of their enemies as the ball.
FIFA officials hate England because of the arrogance shown by English officals
