News: Guard at US Base ‘Stranded’ in Qatar after Being Sacked

Filed under: News,Qatar — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 9:43 AM

     This really sucks for Mr. Dupont and others, and I hope they come out on top in this.  Hopefully, the negative attention placed on Dyncorp with this, will force them to re-write contracts and to be more honest with future employees.  There have been so many incidents like this in the past with Dyncorp and on that contract.  It is really sad.  To me, if a man or woman agrees to put their life on the line for that company and on that contract, then the company at least should have the integrity to be truthful and straight up with those future employees.  -Head Jundi

AN AMERICAN security guard recruited by DynCorp International to serve at the As Sayliyah base has been “stranded” in Qatar for over a year after he was sacked by his employers in April 2007.
Christopher Dupont has since challenged his termination in a Doha court but he has been left with no job and therefore no money to sustain himself. “My daughter in the US had to drop out of college and start working to support me,” he told Gulf Times.
DynCorp International is a US-based private military contractor and aircraft maintenance company, which, according to sources, receives more than 96% of its $2bn in annual revenues from the federal government.
Narrating his plight to Gulf Times, Dupont said he had high hopes when he signed the employment contract with DynCorp International in the US and wanted to serve in Qatar for at least five years.
“But things started to fall apart as I arrived here in October 2006. I was forced to sign an employment contract in which the emoluments were less than what had been promised and agreed in the US. (more…)
