union leaders and politicians. On Wednesday, he's back to the Prime

Minister to reason they and he promised to develop the Vauxhall

brand but did not make any specific promises about this. After the

meeting with Unite union, their secretary certainly sounded

was explained to me how often this occurs, and talking

to some of the guys here today, verbal abuse

is a regular feature of their life and it

really should not be. If people abuse road

workers in this way they We will begin to look

at the if we can consider introducing penalties,
