Dear Raghav Chadha ji, thank you for standing up for the most vulnerable workers in India and for extending solidarity from Parliament House to the streets, demanding dignity and our rightful share. Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union Indian Federation Of App Based Transport Workers
🚨Ground report: I spent 3 days as a gig worker for Zomato, Blinkit & Swiggy in Delhi. 23 deliveries. 15.5 hours. 105 km. Total earnings: Rs 782 (Rs 34/hour) After fuel: ₹532 This is India's convenience economy. A thread on what I learned The Indian Express
₹2 for a cancelled order. 0.3 km travelled. Time spent. Fuel burnt. Risk taken. Is this how Instamart values its delivery workers’ labour❓This is not “incentive”, this is insulting and exploitative. Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union demands Fair minimum pay for cancelled orders, (1/2)
