AUATON Drivers Plan October Strike Over Commission Caps
The Amalgamated Union of App-based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON) announced a planned industrial action by drivers for Bolt and inDrive in Lagos, set for October. The union, led by chairman Jaiyesimi Azeez, demands a commission cap of 10% and a review of fares to address rising operational costs, including fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
Drivers are under financial pressure due to existing pricing arrangements that do not adequately reflect their expenses. The union seeks better earnings, health insurance, accident assistance, and clearer trip statements.
While the planned strike could disrupt services, many drivers face financial constraints that may limit their participation. AUATON also plans to engage with other Nigerian mobility platforms to explore alternative earning opportunities, emphasizing the need for transparency in pricing and support for drivers.
