I am not suggesting for a minute that the PPP company which won the contract is involved in the black economy. However, PPP companies which win contracts employ subcontractors and in turn those subcontractors often employ other subcontractors and so on and somewhere down the line, the poor guy who is working there is made to seek jobseeker's allowance, is breaking all sorts of laws and is not enjoying basic employment rights. In addition, someone is making money by not paying workers the going rate.
