I think the answer/reason for his dismissal lies in Oberons #6

and now that the station is unmanned
Perhaps the company saw this as the cheapest/quickest option of cutting costs and getting what they wanted.

If so.......not a nice way to go about doing ones business

It wasn't all roses I know, trains were late, old and broke down quite regularly, but there was greater cohesion, imho anyway, then than there is now.

I do miss the old slam door trains though...

I said same. In the US there are laws against this but management will find way to fire those getting close to retirement and are garnishing a good wage where someone else would do the job for much less. Can't fight it because the management will find something and or make it very tough for the employee to meet quotas. It is a really cute game.
