Grab, GoTo Targeted by Indonesia Drivers’ Protest Over Pay
Grab Holdings Ltd. and GoTo Group were among ride-hailing and delivery services targeted by driver protests on Tuesday in Indonesia, with thousands gathering to demand better compensation and other terms.
The demonstrations come at a delicate time for the Southeast Asian internet leaders, as Singapore-based Grab has been negotiating to buy its Indonesian rival for more than $7 billion. Drivers in Indonesia, a country of more than 275 million people, are protesting what they describe as exploitative app policies and regulatory negligence.
