Gig workers, according to AAP MP Raghav Chadha, deserve humane treatment and not just as data points. Chadha expressed solidarity with gig workers who staged a symbolic strike for fair pay, improved working conditions, and social security. The strike, organized by unions, led to service disruptions on a busy commercial day.
Chadha emphasized the essential role played by delivery riders in the success of instant-commerce platforms. He urged companies to recognize the humanity of gig workers and avoid exploiting them. Chadha also criticized the intense pressure faced by workers due to ultra-fast delivery demands.
Chadha stressed the need for fair wages, social security, and dignity at work for gig workers. He highlighted the human aspect of these workers, emphasizing their right to decent working conditions and respect. The MP called for a shift towards treating gig workers as individuals rather than disposable assets.
