Gig workers’ unions have renewed their demand for the removal of 10-minute delivery options and the restoration of earlier payout structures, ahead of a nationwide strike scheduled for Wednesday. Union leaders said the current delivery model places unsafe pressure on workers and has significantly reduced their earnings.
Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union president Shaik Salauddin said the fast delivery model was forcing workers to take risks on the road, while frequent changes in payment systems had led to declining incomes. He said thousands of workers across the country were preparing to participate in the protest, which could disrupt delivery services during peak hours.
“Our demand to the platform companies is that the old payout structure be reinstated and the 10 minute delivery option be removed from all platforms. We are ready to discuss and talk about it. We request the state and central government to intervene in this,” Salauddin told ANI.
