By being cheaper, by being bullied, by being illegally traffict. By
other criminal activity. By giving a person a roof over their head and
basic living conditions, threatening their family. These worts of things
are donme throught the world surely it can't be that difficult for yuo
to imagine such practices going on.

Odd - most of the EU workers I come across seem happy enough. Got a few of
them sharing a rented house across the road. Uber drivers and motorbike
couriers. Not quite sure how you bully people into doing those jobs.

Holliss lawsuit is well known among the discontented workers of the gig economy €“ the growing number of Uber drivers and Deliveroo riders who work for less than minimum wage as independent contractors, but who are pushing for something more.

As a friend found out you just lower their pay by 20p per drop and say you can still earn the same amount you'll just have to make more drop offs in a day and if you don't like it there's plenty of Polish looking for jobs, but if you're stupid enough to say that on the phone when you have someone like me telling the the courior to record the phone messages from yuor manager... then you win £10k in court for unfair dismisel.

About 80% of the sex workers are illegal immigrnats and do you really think they are paying tax too.

Those working in the gig economy ain't all EU immigrants by a long long
way.

I never said they were, but I don't quite understand why EU workers and non EU workers need to be treated diferntly from each other if doing the same jobs at the same level.
