Minimum wage for drivers

crush99:
Some of talk about wages at the RDCs
some guy i met, told me a well known company offered him £9.70ph
My lowest offer was £10.70
Seems to me companys will/do take the pee.
So thinking about Minimum wage for drivers what should it be, and should it be a sliding scale based on experience

Who should set the minimum for any job?
Government?
Closed shop union?
Employers association?
.
Should there be minimum haulage rates?
