The cash-strapped company, which operates City to City and Translux buses, announced at the weekend that it would pay its 1,071 employees 50% of their January salaries due to financial challenges. Autopax is a subsidiary of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA, which transport minister Fikile Mbalula has described as a broken organisation.
On Monday Sabela ruled out a strike at Autopax, saying it would be irresponsible for union members to down tools over salaries. Sabela said Holele sent out a note on Monday after meeting shop stewards and stating that the rest of staff salaries would be paid by Wednesday.
