Gig workers across India, including those from Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit, Amazon, and Flipkart, are striking on New Year's Eve, December 31. Unions cite declining earnings, longer hours, unsafe delivery models like the controversial "10-minute delivery," and lack of social security as key grievances. The strike aims to disrupt services during a peak sales period, demanding fair pay, better safety, and improved working conditions. The protest highlights the precarious situation of millions of app-based transport workers.
