Gig workers’ stir to disrupt NY delivery services in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: With app-based delivery gig workers planning a nationwide strike on December 31, e-commerce services, particularly the promise of “10-minute deliveries” and instant availability of essentials are likely to be hit in Bengaluru on New Year’s Eve. Protesters have termed the action a “digital protest in a digitised world,” aimed at disrupting peak-hour deliveries without street demonstrations.
