Gig Workers Strike Nationwide on New Year's Eve Demanding Better Pay and Rights

Gig workers across India, organized by the Gig and Platform Service Workers Union (GIPSWU), are striking on New Year's Eve to protest declining pay, increased workload, and lack of job security. Led by Nirmal Gorana, the union demands basic rights, minimum wage, and protection against arbitrary ID blocking. The strike targets major platforms like Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Amazon, aiming to disrupt services on a peak day. Workers seek dignity and safety in the digital economy.
