Swiggy delivery partners strike in Tamil Nadu, put forth 30 demands
29 October 2024
Food and grocery delivery services provided by Swiggy were disrupted across Tamil Nadu on Monday, May 22, as delivery partners called for an indefinite strike. The striking delivery partners registered with Tamil Nadu Food and Other Goods Delivery Employees Union (Tamil Nadu Unavu Mattrum Idhara Porutkal Viniyogikum Oozhiyargal Sangam) have raised 30 demands, including better treatment from the Swiggy management and their fleet managers.
S Ramakrishna, founder and general secretary of the union, told TNM, “This is not a sudden movement. We have tried to hold talks with the Swiggy management several times, but they have never responded. We have addressed our grievances with the Labour Commissionerate, they understand our problems. We need responsible fleet managers who will care for their delivery partners. They do not address our issues with Swiggy nor convey their messages to us. Earlier, Swiggy used to give us a lot of benefits, we need them back.”
