Having read a lot of anti towards eastern european drivers and for some part being taken in it was interesting to find the true facts in this euronews report of how they and other nationals are exploited, some are ok with it, it’s a job and feeds a family. This film gives an insight into why they drive for the pittance they get, the ruthless firms who employ them and the failure of the European Union to do something about. It’s 26 minutes long, stick with it, the guy at the end sums it up.
