The gig and platform workers’ association has called for a nationwide strike on Wednesday, demanding a minimum salary of ₹40,000 a month in place of the current commission-based payment system and leave and basic facilities at workplaces. The Gig & Platform Services Workers Union (GIPSWU) has asked its members not to operate their apps through which they get assignments from the platforms they are associated with. ADVERTISEMENTAssociation general secretary Nirmal Gorana said that gig workers continued to face systemic exclusion from core labour entitlements such as minimum wage, healthy working conditions and social security. Many customers misbehave with the gig workers, Gorana said. “This strike unites gig workers and allies to demand immediate government intervention.
