Same same. This is how the construction industry looked in the UK before Poland joined the EU.
I worked as a "decorator" for some guy in the late 90s, because I painted an oil painting on a couple of occassions. That guy employed maybe three or four of us picked up from outside a Polish shop in Hammersmith. He was hired buy a proper self-employed decorator - originally from Poland -who himself was hired by some Irish contractors. We were doing up some detached house in Kensington paid £120 per week.
