Just came across this story via Facebook:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3735809/Angry-British-bus-driver-refused-job-interview-Watford-s-not-ROMANIAN.html#i-218ecc4aad66b081
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/699238/british-bus-driver-peter-kennedy-european-union-arriva-watford-gainsborough-lincolnshire

Now, I know the Daily Mail and Express do have their own agendas, but it does bring up an alarming attitude towards employees, and namely the exploitation of cheap labour. And I'm sure it's not just Arriva that are guilty of this.
