Gig Workers Nationwide Strike for Higher Pay and Labor Protections

Gig and platform workers across India are striking nationwide, demanding a minimum monthly pay of ₹40,000, an end to the commission system, and access to labor protections like social security, regulated work hours, and basic facilities. The Gig Platform Services Workers Union (GIPSWU) is urging members to log off apps, citing systemic exclusion from labor entitlements, penalties for delivery delays, and customer mistreatment. They seek government intervention to address these issues, including unrealistic delivery timeframes that lead to ID blocks.
