Please look into this.👇

We do not want Karnataka or Bengaluru to become like the conditions in some parts of North India or UP. South Indians are generally more peaceful & the literacy rate is higher.

As we fight for better protections and welfare for workers, we must hold major platforms accountable. We deserve a system that respects the people on the front lines.

Unions are seeking regular public disclosure to ensure the Karnataka Gig Workers' Act works for everyone. From worker registration to functional grievance redressal, we are pushing for a system that is transparent and effective. 📢 #AllForGigWorkers #IFAT #KAWU

#WATCH | Delhi | On meeting with LoP Rahul Gandhi, Telangana GIG And Platform Workers Union’s Founder President Shaik Salauddin says, "This delegation included drivers and delivery workers from the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers, as well as employees of Urban Company. In Congress-ruled states, and even where we serve as the opposition, the election promises made to these workers have been acted upon... At the central level, the government is providing social-security schemes, but that is not a substitute for statutory law... There was a detailed discussion: over about half an hour the delegation described their problems one by one. We called on Congress governments in states where implementation has stalled to act promptly. We again congratulated Karnataka for being the first state to introduce a comprehensive law..." (06.02)

What was once a promise of flexibility, especially for women workers who have other responsibilities in the home, has now become a trap of digital #bondedlabour. When workers join, they pay between 50,000 and 1 Lakh rupees for training and products... just to have IDs blocked!

"When we joined they promised us #flexibility... but now that is not true. In the new policy they want us to be at customers home within 15 minutes. How is that possible? Are we humans or robots?”
