Food and grocery deliveries may face delays on New Year’s Eve as gig workers plan a nationwide strike on December 31. The action involves workers linked to Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon and Flipkart. Unions say delivery partners are being forced to work longer hours while their income keeps falling. They also cite unsafe targets, lack of social security and sudden account blocks. The Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers said a flash strike on December 25 had cut services by up to 60% in some cities. Workers want fair pay, job safety and talks with the government and platforms. (PC: ai)
