Grab has announced the formation of a trilateral group with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), the Ministry of Transport (MOT), and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to safeguard the livelihoods of platform workers and tackle illegal delivery services. This collaboration aims to develop and share best practices to ensure a sustainable platform economy.
The initiative is a response to growing concerns about the welfare of platform workers and the integrity of delivery services. Grab has already implemented measures to prevent unauthorised individuals, particularly foreigners, from registering as platform workers. The new group will focus on enhancing these measures and creating solutions to further protect workers.
A spokesperson from Grab stated, “We are committed to work alongside the government, NTUC, and other platform operators to safeguard the livelihoods of platform workers and create solutions to stamp out illegal delivery services.” This statement underscores the company’s dedication to fostering a secure and fair working environment for its workers.
