A thead on GN a couple of days ago titled "Eastern European Car Wash" threw up the subject of not only exploitation in ventures such as these, but of the proliferation of pop up businesses being a front for money laundering, drug dealing, prostitution and other ills. We have also read about "hot bedding" with up to 30 young people sharing a house suitable for say a family of 4. Some of these issues, and correct me if I'm wrong, seem to be a direct consequence of free movement. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of regulation, or not that I'm aware of, how the interests of the people who staff such places are being met. I understand there are shortages of workers in certain industries and they have a need to recruit from abroad. However, I think it only encourages employers who have no scruples such as a certain millionaire who owns a chain of sports shops and who had packed Eastern European staff into sub standard housing in Derbyshire to get away with operating in such a way At the inception of free movement was it ever supposed to be thus, exploitation wages, worse still trafficking young women for brothels and enforced labour.
