Dunno what the situation is in the UK, but here in the state that 
borders Mexico, the subcontractors take advantage of the immigrants from 
down south, knowing that they're probably "under the radar" they can 
simply pay them by the day, and know they can pay below minimum wage and 
get away with it, because if they complained about their pay rate, 
they'd likely be deported anyway since they don't have a work visa, or 
citizenship.

It's sad, but that's how things work around here.
