Seems to me that the Polish workers are building a really good reputation, which will in turn mean that they are in greater demand, and rightly able to demand higher wages. If you have a good worker that you want to keep hold of, whatever their nationality, treat them well, or they will soon find work elsewhere.

A worker should get what he is worth regardless of his race... I would have thought that was obvious and the only fair way.

I have two Polish lads and pay them exactly what I would pay anyone else. No reason not to.
