Ironically, they'd leave for Arriva or Stagecoach and be paid the same or slightly worse to go and work for the very conditions Unite have been fighting against.
Those conditions changes that have been taken off the table rendering this dispute purely over pay. Albeit with a vague promise of discussions over conditions within 3 months (which if the Union members didn't agree with, could be grounds for further industrial action in the future if they try to force the condition changes through).
