Gig workers, including Ola and Uber drivers, are protesting for better fares, fair commissions, and humane working hours, highlighting a lack of protections.

This situation mirrors the unorganized sector, where many workers have historically been self-employed with no identifiable employer, a reality amplified by the digital age and platform-mediated work.
