Swiggy workers call off strike after min Sivankutty promises to hold talks

A group of Swiggy delivery workers who launched an indefinite strike in the state capital on Monday called it off a few hours later after Labour Minister V Sivankutty decided to convene a meeting on December 23 to discuss the issues they raised.

During the strike that began in the morning, the workers raised a slew of demands to address their long-standing grievances related to wages, working conditions and basic rights. The workers alleged exploitative policies and anti-worker practices by the company. The agitation, led by a joint strike committee, was supported by various trade unions, including the CITU, INTUC and AITUC.
