Now, it happened that

government were not approving the additional buses on the route.

Now, Patco said, look, we have got these drivers.

We want to give them permanent contract, but the challenge is that government is not approving our um application to add more passes in line with the sma contract signed with government so so that was the main issue and with the patco if everyone permanent contract we know that in the event that government will give you problems and you realize that you have got overstaffed The Labor Relations Act gives you powers or provision to invoke Section 189 in terms of structuring so that you can reduce the number of complement if you realize that you can't take it anymore.

So that was our argument.

We said you don't have to punish these workers, if they're permanent workers, so that if you realize that your issues with government is not coming okay, you can serve us with a letter of retrenchment.

We will engage and look into that matter.
