One of the companies that I do work for only employs immigrants from Eastern Europe..why? Becuase they can put them up in one of 5 houses they are renting as a company, profit on the sub letting, pay them minimum wage for working in their factory with sub standard safety (because most of the workers are too scared to claim because they might lose their job) This is one of the key problems.
There is a shortage of British HGV drivers in the country... why? because the bulk is taken by foreign drivers accepting minimum wage from an agency whilst being paid under an umbrella scheme and being worked for on average 50 hours a week on shift work day and night. I have also seen some drivers using another persons digi card to moonlight through another agency and get more hours.
I cant blame the immigrants that come over (lets face it if someone told you when you were 20 they will pay you 4 times what your earning to live in a house with your mates abroad you wouldnt?) its the fault of the employer for abusing the minimum wage law, not paying what is right and exploiting people and the fault of the government for setting the minimum wage so low.
I also cant blame the majority of the average British person being sick and tired of all of this and their view of foreign people working here becoming jaded.
UKIP seem to be the only party that want to talk about this problem and situation and want to do something about it. The only way they have come up with is by limiting immigration because lets face it if they openly went after the employer they would get even less votes..
