Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• One of West Fife's largest private bus companies last week hit out at a trade union claim that the use of part-time drivers constituted a risk to hundreds of school children. The TGWU has accused private companies of running cut-price services, using men who had already worked a full night shift before taking the wheel of school buses.

In reply, Rennies Lion and Comfort Coaches Ltd, of C airneyhill, has pointed out that the State-owned company, W. Alexander and Sons Ltd, is also employing part-time drivers. "We concede that we use part-time drivers, just as everyone does," said a Rennies' spokesman, "but it is not against the Transport Act, nor anything else, to use part-time workers."
