On this Special Report, the focus is on the nationwide strike by gig workers across India on New Year’s Eve, disrupting services on the busiest day of the year. Nirmal Gorana, National Coordinator of the Gig and Platform Service Workers Union, highlights the plight of delivery executives from Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Zepto. He argues that the current working conditions, particularly the pressure of 10-minute deliveries, amount to ‘forced labour’ under UN definitions. The union has submitted demands to Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, calling for recognition of gig workers as employees, guaranteed minimum wages, and better safety mechanisms. Gorana warns that if the government and companies fail to act, the union will escalate the matter to the courts to secure justice for the workforce.
