Earlier in the day, taxi drivers operating under OLA staged a sit-in protest at the OLA Coimbatore office, alleging the company for altering the profit sharing policies.
Close to 50 drivers operating their cabs for OLA, a taxi company engaged in aggregating drivers and operating nation-wide alleged the company for deceiving them.
'The contract between us and OLA was 85% share for us and 15% for them. Currently, they are demanding 28% which is against the policies agreed by us. And we are unable to earn the amount promised by them. Through their ads, they lure people to earn close to a lakh, but the meagre income we earn is insufficient to meet our vehicle loan dues' said the drivers.
Those who have denied to agree to their new profit-sharing ratio are been deliberately denied business by OLA. Close to eight months' incentives as promised, is yet to be settled by OLA, they added.
Hence they have demanded responsible statements from the management in connection with their change in profit sharing structures.
