Roger Evans, the transport spokesman, said: "This deal is beyond

to ban strikes on the Underground.

Why is it an "insult"? It's not extra holidays - it's days off on
account of extra hours worked!


Well, I find it insulting as I don't get time off because of the extra hours
I work, and I would imagine the millions of people working for the many
companies in many industries that don't leech of public money, and don't
have a corrupt union propping them up might feel similarly about the
situation.
