Gig Workers Plan New Year’s Eve Strike: Demanding Fairer Terms from Delivery Platforms

Gig workers across India are striking on December 31, potentially disrupting food delivery and e-commerce. Unions like IFAT and TGPWU demand better pay, safety, and social security. Workers cite declining earnings and algorithm-driven penalties. The strike could affect Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, and Flipkart on a peak demand day. Consumers should plan ahead for New Year’s Eve.
