Would they though?
Lets say GNE go bust, there would then be 'over 2000' people looking for a job.
There would be absolutely no incentive for Stagecoach or Arriva to offer any bonuses to join. In fact, they could probably pay them less because the drivers have no choice.
That's simple supply and demand.
If GNE went "bust" would that have a negative effect on the Go ahead group as a whole?
Alos forgive my ignorance but if GNE went bust wouldnt another company come in and buy up its assest on the cheap and re employe the workforce? May MA buses - or somthing?
