webfact Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Grab bike protest! 1,000+ riders have 5 demands - company ask for two weeks to respond Picture: Daily News Daily News reported that more than 1,000 Grab Bike riders protested outside Grab Thailand's head office on New Phetchaburi Road in Bangkok yesterday. They had five demands related to what they see as unfair work practices. Makkasan police and security at the Thanaphum Building erected barriers to keep the protesters out. Their demands are about dividing up the city and surrounding provinces, requirements to buy "Grab Express" bags, changes to remuneration arrangements that have been reduced, accident insurance cover and unjust division of labor practices. Company executives emerged and agreed to address the demands within the next 7-15 days and meet with representatives of the bikers. This was met with applause and cheers and the crowd dispersed. The latest protest follows a similar one from Grab riders in Pattaya, notes Thaivisa.

But the taxi part of the business not so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpusChristie Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 There are now too many food delivery drivers compared to the demand for food being delivered . Raise the prices and even fewer people will use them . Grab need to have a certain number of drivers for anyone to make a profit , too many drivers, not enough customers . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toast1 Posted August 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes, how dare entrepreneurs create successful businesses that give people jobs and prosperity, why can't we all be like Cuba. We can all be poor and live as happy little serfs. Damn those clever people and their dastardly plans to make our lives more convenient! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
