The National Minimum wage means nothing when people are coming from other countries and working for less than that.

Some employers are expecting people to work twelve hour shifts seven days a week and in this day and age nobody should have to work all those hours.

Actually the NMW means a lot to people who come from 'abroad' . Yes in some instances it means that they can undercut the local workforce, work all hours for peanuts and be grateful for it, but not in all cases. In some cases it means the hope4 of a better life for which they are prepared to work, which is more than some of the natives who want us all th keep them for nothing.
Personally, I have the greatest respect for these ;foreigners' who are prepared to work hard and put in some effort, without screeming about their 'human rights'. Btw I do not employ anyone below national minimum wage rates, indeed I employ no on or below these rates and I do not employ anyone who is not a British National although a few of my employees or from asian heritage because I find their morals are more in line with the companies ethos
