    The EU and posted workers rights

    The EU Parliament debating this as we speak.

    Basically they are protecting workers from companies undercutting them by bringing in-sourced cheaper workers.

    (This is going to make some heads spin! )

      When everyone is on minimum wage it is difficult to undercut it legally.

        You've got your blue passport. That's safe.

          This isn’t a Brexit thread btw - life in the EU goes on without us.

              No, it really isn’t.

                  So all those migrant workers doing jobs that British workers could be doing are actually being paid less than the minimum wage?
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
