For some reason the press and union has decided to use this womans case as an example.
Mainly because I'm sure none of the locals would have taken the job for those wages so I think your concern for the locals losing out is poorly placed.
If a local person had been hired by the agency then surely a minimum wage would have been quoted. I think that the agency in question has taken advantage of the persons low expectation for a wage.
