They can do that as well but the SG is training more drivers and if that keeps up then they could be saying goodbye to their overtime for good. And of course the more drivers there are, the less bargaining power they will have.

It would take about 18 months to train more drivers. The loss to the economy would be absolutely huge if that was allowed to happen.

I've just read it's estimated the reduced timetable will cost around £80 million a week to the Scottish economy. £80 million x80 weeks is running into the billions, no government is going to allow the strike to run that long and cost the country billions.

I don't particularly have an opinion either way on the strike but it appears to me doing some sums it's the drivers who hold the aces here and not the SG.
