Ola, Uber, Rapido Drivers on Strike Today | Know the Reason Why

Описание: Commuters across India may face major travel disruptions today as app-based drivers linked to Ola, Uber and Rapido stage a nationwide strike under the banner ‘All India Breakdown’. The protest, organised by the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU), is being supported by labour bodies across the country.

Drivers have switched off their ride-hailing apps for at least six hours, affecting cabs, auto-rickshaws and bike taxis in major cities. The unions say the strike is against unregulated fares, shrinking earnings, and lack of government-notified minimum base fares, despite the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines, 2025.

The protest highlights the growing crisis in India’s gig economy, where platform workers say they are being pushed into financial distress due to arbitrary pricing, long working hours, and unstable incentives.

This nationwide shutdown could cause long wait times, surge pricing, and limited ride availability for passengers during peak hours. Unions say this action is a fight for dignity, fair pay, and survival.
