Gig Workers Strike for Better Conditions Amidst New Labor Code Implementation

Gig workers in India are seeking better wages and working conditions, protesting opaque pay structures and algorithmic rate cuts. While new labor codes offer some social security provisions, they exclude gig work from traditional employment definitions, leaving key demands unaddressed. Draft rules require workers to register for social security benefits, with aggregators contributing to a fund. However, concerns remain about the practical accessibility and effectiveness of these measures for workers facing issues beyond social security.
