HANOI: Vietnamese ride-hailing drivers working for Singapore's Grab have used social media to call on colleagues to boycott the app this weekend, saying a rise in service charges has cut their income to unsustainably low levels.
Drivers have been sharing screenshots showing their reduced earnings on Facebook, and are urging others to stop accepting rides on Saturday (Sep 12) and Sunday in protest.
"Let's all stand together, switch off the app and take a break to demand fairness," one Facebook user said in a post in a public group called the Vietnam Grab Driver Community, which has 169,000 members.
Grab said it was working to ensure that service operations remain stable.

Drivers claimed that since Grab changed its payment structure in July, deductions could now amount to as much as 50 per cent of the fare, a report by state-run VTC News said on Thursday. Such a cut would leave drivers with net earnings of roughly 2,600 dong (US$0.10) per kilometre for motorcycle rides and about 6,000 dong (US$0.2317) per kilometre for car trips, and they still need to pay for fuel, maintenance and vehicle depreciation costs, it added. However, one user said in the Facebook group that "if Grab were to pull out of Vietnam, drivers would be left with nothing". Grab is one of Vietnam's largest ride-hailing operators and also runs food delivery and other digital services in the country.

河内：为新加坡网约车平台 Grab 工作的越南籍网约车司机利用社交媒体呼吁同行在本周末抵制该应用，称服务费上涨已使他们的收入降至难以维持的低水平。
司机们在 Facebook 上分享了收入减少的截图，并敦促其他司机在周六（9 月 12 日）和周日停止接单以示抗议。
“让我们团结起来，关掉应用程序，休息一下，要求公平，”一位 Facebook 用户在一个名为“越南 Grab 司机社区”的公共群组中发帖说道，该群组拥有 169,000 名成员。
Grab表示，公司正在努力确保服务运营保持稳定。
