GNE won’t budge on offer and once they hit 12 weeks of strike action (I think they’re on 5 or 6 now including the 2 from a few months back) they can be legally sacked and that’s the way things are heading at the moment. They’ll more than likely ask current staff either to return to work or go.
People keep mentioning this, but how would sacking the driving workforce after 12 weeks put you in a better position? Arguably you'd be in a worse position, when you're already struggling to recruit the required number of drivers in the first place.
It's not like you can click your fingers and get a replacement workforce. Things like your training school and induction process all have capacities.
