Sideligths: Maid Climbs Tree to Protest Salary Delay
Arab News -
AL-DULAM, 26 December 2007 - An Asian maid, fed up of waiting for
her employer to pay her, decided to bring attention to her plight by climbing a
tree, Al-Riyadh newspaper reported yesterday. The maid who worked for her
employer in Al-Dulam town, southeast of Riyadh, sought refuge in a tall tree
and refused to climb down until she was paid her salary. Her sponsor pleaded
with her to come down and even sought neighbors' help in convincing her to come
down. When all efforts failed, her sponsor called the fire department to report
what was probably a first case of its kind in the village. Firefighters arrived
at the scene and managed to convince the maid to come down. The report did not
mention if the maid was paid her salary or returned to her sponsor.
