In one very simple scenario, the manager of the depot could cover one driving shift him/herself, or they could hold return to work interviews with three drivers and get them all back on the road driving again from tomorrow. One shift covered today by not doing their job, or three shifts covered tomorrow by doing what they’re employed to do?
That said I do think managers ought to lead by example - and it is seen on the ground as a very good thing for managers to be out there ‘on the shop floor’ and it tends to command a fair bit of respect.
There was an opinion piece on this very matter on Route One's website yesterday: https://www.route-one.net/opinion/manage...mportance/
