Gig workers plan a nationwide strike on December 31, threatening service disruptions for Amazon and major e-commerce and food delivery platforms across India.
The protest is timed to coincide with New Year's Eve, historically one of the busiest days for online orders. This timing could cause significant delivery delays for Amazon customers throughout the country. Delivery partners cite issues of low pay, job insecurity, and poor safety conditions as the primary reasons for the action.
Workers demand better safety gear, comprehensive accident insurance, reasonable working hours, and access to social security benefits.
