Buses battle still rages : new operator takes union to court - 27 July
Durban's beleaguered bus service is being held to ransom by a labour union while thousands of commuters remain stranded. Transnat Africa, the newly appointed operator of the municipal bus service, will go to the Pietermaritzburg high court this morning to seek an interdict against the Transport and Allied Workers Union (Tawusa) for “withholding labour”. Transnat wants to employ only the number of bus drivers it needs for the limited service it has been contracted to provide, but the union wants the company to employ all 1000-plus workers that were retrenched by the previous operator. - Sowetan website
