The National Public Transportation Authority sent a harsh letter to the 'Tnufa' company following a warning strike by hundreds of drivers. The letter, signed on July 27 by CEO Idan Moalem, demands that the company act immediately to prevent harm to passengers and to investigate serious claims of safety deficiencies in buses. Moalem clarifies that halting transportation is not just a labor dispute but a direct harm to hundreds of thousands of citizens. The authority threatens to use enforcement powers, fines, contractual sanctions, payment deductions, and even legal steps if the company does not fulfill its obligations. The strike, in which more than 400 drivers participated, stemmed from claims of safety deficiencies and wage uncertainty. The state signals that if the claims prove true or disruptions continue, the company may pay a heavy price.
