Around 20 delivery executives in Bengaluru allege their IDs were blocked by food delivery platforms after participating in a nationwide strike on December 25. The strike aimed to protest exploitative practices, including the 10-minute delivery model, lack of transparent wages, and arbitrary ID blocking. One executive reported his ID was terminated for being a 'strike enabler,' with his weekly payout withheld. This action potentially conflicts with the Karnataka Platform-Based Gig Workers Act, which requires written notice and valid reasons for deactivation.
