Drivers are not allowed to do overtime (the unions won't allow it)

Why do the unions have any say in the matter? If a driver wants to work
overtime, and his manager has work for him to do, then it seems crazy to
stop them.

You seem to be overlooking the "collective" in Collective Bargaining.

If the unions have decided that they'd prefer more jobs (which equates
to more subs and also an easier sell that every member needs a 'living
wage' without overtime), rather than fewer jobs with flexibility via
overtime, then everyone gets lumbered with that decision.
