The Ministry of Transport has formally refuted allegations that terminal workers are being compelled to resign prior to the operational transfer to the National Bus Company, scheduled for implementation on March 1st, 2026. Chief Executive Officer Chester Williams issued a definitive denial, asserting that no official directive mandating worker resignations has been circulated. “Assertions that terminal personnel must submit resignations by this Friday are entirely without foundation,” Williams declared. This rebuttal addresses concerns previously voiced by the Public Service Union regarding alleged employee coercion during the transition phase. Williams elaborated that the handover of highway bus terminal management from government control to the National Bus Company is being executed in strict compliance with established labor regulations. Affected employees, approximately 80 individuals across six districts, have been briefed on their available alternatives, with ongoing consultations involving the Labour Department and union delegates. Williams emphasized that workers will be offered positions within the newly formed National Bus Company, which will require staffing in all districts. A six-month transition window, from March 1st through the end of August, will provide personnel with adequate time to elect either to join the new corporate entity or to consider severance packages. “There is absolutely no intention to deprive any individual of their entitled benefits,” Williams concluded, underscoring the commitment to a lawful and equitable transfer process.
