Delivery workers in Taiwan protested a potential acquisition of Foodpanda by Grab earlier this month, gathering outside the Fair Trade Commission. The National Delivery Workers’ Union organized the demonstration to voice concerns about the impact of the deal on their livelihoods. Workers fear the acquisition would lead to monopolistic practices, reducing competition in the delivery service market. They argue that a Grab-Foodpanda monopoly would negatively affect workers’ rights and potentially lead to reduced pay and worsened working conditions. Union representatives stated the acquisition would concentrate too much power in a single company. The workers are urging the Fair Trade Commission to carefully scrutinize the proposed acquisition and consider the potential consequences for delivery personnel across Taiwan.
