Former Golden Arrow Bus Services inspectors say they were dismissed on December 17, 2025 following a strike they believed was legally protected, leaving many without income, bonuses and medical aid just days before Christmas.
Nineteen inspectors from Golden Arrow Bus Services, dismissed just days before Christmas, are now confronting significant financial hardship, the loss of medical aid, and uncertainty about their future.
After decades of service, they participated in a strike they believed was legally protected, only to find themselves facing termination and the repercussions of their actions.
The inspectors, who asked to remain anonymous, were dismissed on December 17, 2025 after participating in what the company classified as an unprotected strike. The workers claim they acted on the advice and mandate of their union, the Transport and Omnibus Workers Union (TOWU), which allegedly assured them that all procedures had been followed and that a valid strike certificate had been issued.
TOWU declined to comment on the allegations.
