The people who clean the UK foreign ministry protested that their minimum-wage pay is [ too little to live in London and do the job. ]( http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/oct/17/whitehall-cleaner-hmrc-campaign-living-wage ) The article demonstrates the harm done by subcontracting, which gives the state and other companies a way to hire people for low wages and say "we're not responsible, since we don't employ them." A company or agency that gets workers through a subcontractor should be directly responsible for how they are treated and how much they are paid.
