Indian Delivery Workers Strike on New Year's Eve Over Working Conditions and Low Pay

Delivery workers across India, represented by the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers, are striking on New Year's Eve to protest deteriorating working conditions. A survey of 5,000 workers revealed many work 10-14 hours daily for low wages, earning between Rs 200-600 per day. Workers cite declining earnings, job insecurity, physical and mental stress, and risks associated with models like '10-minute delivery'. They demand fair pay, safety measures, and social security benefits.
