Swiggy workers go on strike in Chennai
05 November 2024
Online food delivery services were affected in Chennai as workers of Swiggy, one of major private players in this sector, were on a strike for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. Many restaurants in the city, including KFC, Subway, Ambur Star Biriyani and Pizza Hut, were declared as 'temporary closed' by Swiggy on its app. Only a handful of restaurants were available. So, it took at least 90 minutes for the food to reach the customers' places. Swiggy workers abstained from work to register their protest against the new payout methods and demanded revival of daily/weekly incentive schemes. Delivery executives said under the new method, they would be forced to work for longer hours (more than 12 hours) but even then they would not be able to achieve their incentive target.
