International Road Transport Union (IRU) secretary general Umberto de Pretto has outlined key challenges facing the road transport sector at the global road transport trade union conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa and noted that the political will to improve the working conditions of drivers is not there. Pretto said, “Our drivers are our heroes. Whether that be during the Covid-19 pandemic or now, they must be recognised as essential workers providing indispensable services.”
