DEMANDS INCLUDE GOVT-NOTIFIED MINIMUM BASE FARES FOR RIDE-HAILING PLATFORMS, TO BE DECIDED IN CONSULTATION WITH DRIVERS
The operations of ride-hailing services such as Uber, Rapido and Ola may be disrupted on Saturday, February 7 as drivers across the country plan a nationwide strike over pay structures.
Referring to the strike as ‘All India Breakdown,’ drivers intend to log out of their respective platforms for a period of six hours during the day.
Some of the demands of the drivers include government-notified minimum base fares for ride-hailing platforms decided in consultation with drivers. In addition, they have also asked for a ban on private vehicles for commercial rides.
“Despite Motor Vehicles Aggregator Guidelines 2025, platforms continue to fix fares arbitrarily. Our demands are clear: Notify minimum base fares and end misuse of private vehicles for commercial rides,” Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU), which has called the strike with several national labour organisations, said in a social media post.
