Emirates Crew Rest Controversy

I recently got an assignment for my University Writing Class - I have to find a Business controversy, research its complexities, and write an imaginary letter to the CEO explaining why it was not fulfilling basic obligations to its workers. Of course, the first thing I thought of was travel.

I think a good controversy would be the fact that Emirates was flying DXB-PER on 77Ws without crew rests - the flight was almost 11 hrs each way. It was discussed extensively at anet.

However, my main concern is the lack of scholarly articles or publications which cover this subject. Does anyone know of any places I could look into to find articles regarding this controversy? My university has access to pretty much all databased you can imagine, and I can request any published material to be sent to me.

Thanks!

Cheers,
