LONDON -- Qatar's World Cup sites will be inspected from next year by an international trade union which wants the deaths of all workers assessed by external coroners and for the causes to be published.
Qatar has come under fierce criticism over living and working conditions for workers since being awarded the 2022 World Cup in a contentious vote six years ago.
Qatar says only four stadium workers have died, with just one fatality the result of a work-related accident after a Nepali was hit by a water truck last month.
The Building and Wood Workers' International (BWI), which will conduct labour and accommodation inspections with tournament organisers from January, wants more information published about deaths in the low-paid, migrant workforce.
