It has urged cab drivers and delivery partners associated with app-based platforms to suspend services between 12 noon and 5pm, demanding higher payouts and relief from mounting fuel expenses.
App-based drivers and delivery workers are bracing for a financial blow after the government on Friday increased petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre.
According to the union, the increase in fuel prices will directly impact India’s 1.2 crore gig workers. It is also likely to trigger large-scale migration among gig workers.
“Gig & Platform Service Union (GIPSWU) demands increase in per-kilometre service rates from the government and digital gig platforms following hike in petrol, diesel and LPG gas prices.
