Topic: American Language Centre - Yemen

[fitzpatrick_thomas]

This is a ESL school in Khormaksar, Eden, Yemen.

NOT Amideast or Mali.

 In December last year the two foreign native english speaking teachers were both fired on the same day( one day before we were due to be paid, meaning the school gets two months - 30 hours a week - free teaching.)
No reason was given for the dismissals.

We were told that we would receive no money whatsoever for the last month ($800 each) that we worked and that we should give them our passports so that we could get an exit visa. The exit visa was obtained and we were given a PHOTOCOPY of the exit visa. They still have the passports. This is presumably an attempt at intimidation - the idea being that if you make trouble about the $1600 owed for work done then you do not get your passport back.

Just posting to keep this section alive.  Does anyone know the salary & benefits for either of these two companies?
Thanks,
