The workers of Swiggy, the online food delivery platform, have been on an indefinite strike in Kochi since November 14. Around 5,000 delivery partners are on a logout strike demanding revision of the minimum remuneration for delivery.
The workers are demanding a remuneration of Rs 35 for delivery in a 2.5 km radius against Rs 20 for 4 km being paid now.
The workers resorted to an indefinite strike after the tripartite talks held on November 14, by the Ernakulam district labour commissioner, failed and the demands were not accepted by the representatives of Swiggy.
The delivery partners, as defined by the organisation, resorted to a token strike on October 31 to highlight their long pending demands. The workers, led by the Food Online Delivery Workers Union (FODWU) affiliated with the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) have announced to continue their strike until their demands are met.
