Up to 700 jobs are on the line from the planned closure of popular inter-city bus service Greyhound, unions warned on Wednesday.
However, National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) secretary general Irvin Jim has threatened to interdict Greyhoundâs owners Unitrans Passenger to stop closure, saying the union was only informed of the Section 189 retrenchment process on Tuesday.
