I hadn't thought of it like that, but there's an interesting parallel - if LTDA members fought for Uber drivers to be recognised as employees, and to have a decent minimum wage then as you say the price disparity may become much much smaller (unless Uber subsidises the UK market to destroy the competition, of course).
The parallel I mentioned is that if there is a strongly enforced minimum wage then there's no point hiring an immigrant to perform a task simply because they're cheap.
Labour rights, strongly enforced, would resolve what people hope to achieve by closing the borders to forrins.
