Durban bus crisis still unresolved

SABC News There is no end in sight to the bus crisis in Durban. The whole fleet that services the city has been grounded after the Remant Alton bus company fired all its drivers. It accused the more than 800 workers of having embarked on an illegal strike.

The workers are demanding to be employed by the municipality and not the bus company. Talks between the company and the SA Transport and Allied Workers Union were deadlocked two days ago. The Commission for Reconciliation, Mediation and Arbitration intervened but still no solution has been found.
