Food delivery services in Maharashtra experienced disruptions on Christmas Day due to a one-day strike by an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 gig workers. The Gig Workers Union, supported by several labor organizations, called the strike to protest alleged inhumane workplace practices by platforms like Zomato.
