Swiggy delivery executives in Hyderabad to go on strike demanding hike

Delivery executives of food-delivery platform Swiggy in Hyderabad will go on indefinite strike from Tuesday, demanding a hike in their delivery charges.

They claimed that Swiggy has reduced their earning structure amid the Covid-19 pandemic and despite the rise in petrol prices.

The delivery executives said that Swiggy reduced the minimum earning from earlier Rs 35 to Rs 15 now. Even though Rs 35 is collected as delivery charges from customers, only Rs 15 is being paid to delivery executives.

They said the company is making them deliver more than one order per trip and for the second order, they are being paid only Rs 10.
