Overview
- The action is organised by the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union and the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers with support from regional collectives.
- Platforms in focus include Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon and Flipkart, covering food delivery, quick commerce and e-commerce.
- Union organisers estimate more than 100,000 couriers will log out or scale back work on December 31.
- Disruptions are likely across food orders, grocery runs and last‑minute purchases in cities such as Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, along with several tier‑2 markets.
- Workers cite opaque app controls, falling pay, sudden ID blocks and unsafe ultra‑fast targets; unions say a December 25 protest drew about 40,000 participants with roughly 60% disruption, and companies did not respond to new requests for comment.
