OEB Appeals for Addressing the Shortage of Professional Drivers

The Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) has issued an urgent appeal to address the severe shortage of professional drivers affecting the transport sector and the economy. The OEB states that the problem is constantly worsening, as demonstrated by the near-disruption of the Pame Express passenger transport service. Despite previous representations and proposals, insufficient measures have been taken to resolve the issue, which impacts both public transport and supply chains. The OEB expresses its readiness to cooperate with the government and stakeholders to implement immediate solutions that will ensure the sustainability of the transport sector.
