What did the FairSquare report conclude about migrant workers in Aramco's supply chain?

The FairSquare report found that migrant workers employed by Aramco’s contractors and subcontractors in Saudi Arabia 'are exposed to serious safety and health risks, and face significant challenges in claiming compensation in the event of injury or death' — based on 23 documented cases of alleged labour rights abuses, including extreme heat exposure, work shifts up to 19 hours, and substandard 'slum housing'.

According to the news, what responsibility does FairSquare attribute to Aramco regarding migrant worker protection?

FairSquare’s director, Nick McGeehan, stated that 'Aramco obviously has a responsibility to protect these workers, but it also has tremendous influence to set standards that flow down its supply chain to hundreds of thousands of workers across Saudi Arabia', and that 'the neglect that we see in its supply chain indicates that it takes migrant worker protection no more seriously than the Saudi state.'
