Sounds like a great idea to us, and we are taking part already. With recent fare increases on public transport we suggest that you all get the New Labour message and use your welfare to get to work.

An extra few quid each week should help you get a cash in hand post that little bit further away from home Ü and not worry as much about the appalling wage settlements in the black economy.

So forget that pathetic minimum wage that the TUC have 'negotiated' on your behalf Ü get welfare to work.

You may wish to call the New Deal hot line on 0845-606 2626 to let them know what you think.
