After a recent call to Bolt customer support, the driver was promptly blocked. Bolt’s position was clear: They are unwilling to raise fares and appear indifferent to drivers operating at a loss. This leaves drivers with a difficult choice- continue....

[Ayoade Ibrahim®️ @maiwega]

The guy who called Bolt support got blocked right after the call. Their response basically said it all:
Bolt has no plans to increase fares.
They don’t care if drivers are running at a loss.
So what are drivers supposed to do? Keep bleeding money or just stop driving?

@boltapp customer support, the driver was promptly blocked. Bolt’s position was clear: they are unwilling to raise fares and appear indifferent to drivers operating at a loss. This leaves drivers with a difficult choice continue driving unprofitably or exit @maiwega

🚨 Gig Workers, It’s Time to Organize for C193
The gig economy promised freedom. Instead, it delivered unstable income, no benefits, zero job security, and algorithms that treat us like disposable labor.

My ILO comic - from conference photo to intergalactic promotion:
The breakdown:
Panel 1 - Setup: Posing between the ILO flags, thinking it's a quiet conference day, but the flags start to sparkle.
Panel 2 - Rising Action: VWW OOM!! A portal rips open between the flags

Above all, ratification would send a clear and powerful message that the Government of Nigeria values the contributions of platform workers and is committed to upholding their rights, protections, and dignity,” the union says. @Auaton_HQAbuja

@maiwega @Uber @bolt - Prioritizing customer profit at the Uber office in Maryland, Lagos, Nigeria

These demands reflect our commitment to improving conditions for all workers and ensuring a fair and safe workplace.

[African Platform workers Representatives @PlatformWorkers]

In 2023, @maiwega led a strike to advocate for several critical issues concerning app companies like @Uber and @Bolt. Our key demands included:
- Safer working environments
- Implementation of a price mechanism
- Algorithm control management
- Ensuring the safety of our members

Unyielding Resolve: Finishing What I Started for the Greater Good
In a world quick to criticize, tear down, and oppose those who dare to challenge the status quo, one truth stands unshakable: real progress is forged in the fire of adversity.

[Ayoade Ibrahim®️ @maiwega]

National Labour Advisory Councils (NLACs) serve as essential connections between international commitments and domestic actions. Active and robust NLACs enhance the likelihood of successful ratification and effective implementation of conventions

[Ayoade Ibrahim®️ @maiwega]

This Convention is a powerful affirmation of international solidarity and persistent organizing. From local strikes to Geneva negotiations, platform workers and their unions shifted the narrative: digital work is real work deserving real rights.

@Auaton_HQAbuja are incredibly proud of our dynamic Co-Founder and General Secretary, @maiwega ,for his tireless and selfless advocacy at the International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva.
Over the past two years, he has consistently championed the realisation of decent work

[Ayoade Ibrahim®️ @maiwega]

The heroes of ILC.114 and the adoption of Convention No.193 (Decent Work in the Platform Economy) are indeed the platform workers globally along with the dedicated trade unionists, committees, and allies who fought for years to make it happen. @Auaton_HQAbuja

[Ayoade Ibrahim®️ @maiwega]

The era of unregulated platform exceptionalism is ending. The challenge now is turning this global standard into tangible gains on the streets of Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, and beyond.
