Overview
- TGPWU and IFAT have called a nationwide log-off on December 31, with union leaders saying more than 100,000 workers plan to participate.
- The action spans Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon and Flipkart, which could slow food, grocery and last‑minute shopping deliveries in metros and several tier‑2 cities.
- Workers cite opaque app-driven pay rules, unpaid waiting time, weak grievance systems and pressure from ‘10‑minute’ delivery promises that they say heighten crash risk.
- Organisers reference a December 25 protest they say drew about 40,000 workers and caused major delivery disruptions, while some Bengaluru riders allege post-protest ID deactivations and police pressure.
- Reporters say platforms have not responded to new queries, as the dispute is underscored by NITI Aayog’s projection of 23.5 million platform workers by 2029–30 and survey findings of low daily earnings and long shifts.
