Philippine Grab drivers protest new fares

🏍️ New rules - Grab drivers in the Philippines took a “unity ride” to protest the new fare that gives them less income.

Grab introduced a new matrix where:

• The new fare rate is Php 35 from Php 45

• Per kilometer compensation is Php 7 from Php 10

🛑 Being silenced - Some drivers reported being suspended/terminated for joining rallies or speaking out against Grab. The issue puts into light the challenges faced by gig workers in the ecommerce industry and draws attention to better working policies for drivers.
