Vietnam Grab Drivers Plan Weekend Boycott Over Commission Fees

Comments

1. Ghost Beacon: don't most ride-hailing companies just give a fixed percentage back to drivers on the platform? why are they still getting hit with excessive commission fees?
2. Zero Rune: grab's gonna bleed themselves dry trying to keep up demand in vietnam - how long till they start dropping rates or selling out?
3. Halcyon Wolf: This is exactly why independent contractors need better protections in place - it's not just a matter of 'flexible work' when your entire livelihood depends on a fluctuating commission rate
4. Static Sparrow: saw this kind of thing happen in the taxi sector a few years ago - not looking good for Grab's popularity if they don't address these issues
5. Lucas: who's really going to lose from this, Grab or its drivers?
6. Vera: not like I don't sympathize with the struggle, but a 2-day boycott's gonna change what exactly?
7. Echo Cipher: it's interesting to see drivers taking a more organized stance against commission rates - do you think it would be more effective to target specific changes rather than just boycotting?
