The strike by gig workers from noon to 5 pm on Saturday may disrupt food delivery services as workers demand a revised fare structure.
May 15, 2026: Gig workers associated with food delivery and transport platforms will go on strike on Saturday from 12 pm to 5 pm. The workers are demanding a revised payment structure with a minimum fare of ₹20 per kilometre.
According to the workers, rising fuel prices and increasing daily expenses have made current earnings unsustainable. They have urged aggregator companies to improve compensation and provide better working conditions for delivery partners and drivers.
The protest is expected to affect food delivery services in several cities during the strike hours. Customers may face delays or reduced availability of delivery services as many workers are likely to participate in the agitation.
