The guys on low wage did join the agency. The workforces on these big infrastructure jobs are padded out with cheap agency labour, even foremen and the like being paid s**t, don't be fooled by the fact that they're issued with PPE bearing the main contractor's logo, they aint on main-contractor contracts or getting paid main-contractor wages! The big construction firms only have limited full-time workforces, they get the rest from a down-trodden shared pool
