As I said in the post above blame the employers in that case not the people doing the work.
If they are doing work for less than the minimum wage and you know the employer, report them to HMRC. Don't sit there moaning do something about it.
If they are doing the work for minimum wage which previously was a lot higher, then blame the employer not the person doing the work, they are the one being exploited. Get their support and start a campaign, get the unions and the press involved, name and shame. Whingeing on here will not solve anything.
For all the rhetoric I have yet to see any facts.
