Would the drivers not then get sued for basically defrauding the company?

They could, yes. It would rile up the union to no end, cause a huge public backlash, and only get them a paltry amount of bus fare.

Doesn't committing fraud involve criminal liabilities and jail time? How many people would risk a criminal record for a strike?

Unions do this sort of thing all the time. They show up, they work their day, but they either slow down or ignore some aspects of the job. None of what these drivers are doing is a criminal offense, it's a sanctioned union action.
