Delivery workers from major quick commerce platforms went on strike across several major cities on Wednesday, in a protest against falling earnings and what they describe as deteriorating working conditions in the fast-growing sector.
The Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) and Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers (IFAT), representing over 40,000 delivery workers, had called for strikes on December 25 and 31 targeting platforms including Swiggy, Eternal, Zepto, Amazon, and Flipkart.
