Delivery Executives Claim IDs Blocked After Strike, Allege Violation of New Gig Workers Act

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.
