(21 Nov 2023, 7:45 pm)Adrian wrote 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.The replacement workforce would in all likelihood be most of the same workforce rehired on new contracts. Some would walk away but no doubt the vast majority would accept the new contracts if GNE did choose to go down the road of fire and rehire in January.
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.
