Delivery apps brace for mega strike on New Year’s Eve as unions mobilise 1.5 lakh workers across India
NEW DELHI: The tug of war between delivery workers’ unions and e-commerce and food delivery apps escalated on Tuesday, a day ahead of the planned mega strike announced by the unions. Firms have reportedly deployed bouncers, while Bollywood actors are enticing workers with promises of lump-sum earnings or even a vehicle for working just two days. The unions have chosen New Year’s Eve to maximise impact, as deliveries and home food orders peak during the festive period.
