    Be that as it may, is it a way around the visa issue?

    Anyway, back to my point. If it has been proved there are no local workers with the skills to fulfil this construction (I believe) project, then fair enough. If there are the local skills available, I can't see how it can be justified. Note that I am not saying thats what EU law does or does not state, just that I can't see how it can be justified...

    In the US

    Why can't we do that? Seems fair enough to me...
    In the US, if they chose to employ workers from Michigan in Calafornia at a lower rate they are allowed to do that.

    The way I see it, thats what is happening here, its not really right, but in effect the EU is a federation in many respects and we belong to that federation so what they are doing is probably a mistake for the local image of the company and morally wrong, but its legal.

    UK is not really a wholly separate country. You can theoretically work and live anywhere in the EU. Thats what we voted for.... or how the "democratic" referendum would have turned out if the government had bothered to actually honour there pledge to hold a referendum about it. Or then again if it hadnt we would have voted until it did turn out that way. Have to love democracy.

    In theory, we do exactly that. In order to employ a foreign national and grant a work permit any position must have been advertised for at least a year (though it does not have to be permanently advertised for the duration of this period). It must be proved that no UK resident has sufficient skill to do the work and that reasonable efforts have been made to recruit UK national workers.
