Appreciate the irony that the mythology of the neo-liberal project presents them as the agents of "society" against the state, yet the way in which EU case law has developed has made any sectoral wage agreements made privately between employer's federations and trade unions illegal.  The only legally enforceable wage standard where workers are posted from other member countries is the minimum wage set by national or regional governments.

This was a huge part of what prompted the wildcat strikes in Britain in 2009.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
