Lagos E-Hailing Drivers Begin Indefinite Strike over Fares, Commissions
The union said unresolved fare, commission and welfare disputes are cutting driver earnings and threatening the sustainability of app-based transport work.
- On Monday, the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria began an indefinite strike in Lagos State, protesting unresolved concerns about fare structures, commissions, deductions, and driver welfare.
- Affiliated with the Nigeria Labour Congress , AUATON cited persistent grievances regarding operational policies, driver safety, security, and the long-term viability of their work as reasons for the action.
- Lagos State Chairman Jaiyesimi Olalabi Azeez, known as Makavelli, appealed to fleet partners to suspend daily remittance requirements while union task forces monitor compliance across all local government areas.
- Improved driver earnings and welfare would enhance retention and vehicle maintenance, AUATON argued, fostering stability and reducing operational disputes within the app-based transportation sector.
- The indefinite strike will remain in force until further notice or satisfactory progress is made, with AUATON urging fleet owners, managers, and drivers to resolve operational concerns through constructive engagement.
