Times of India | Gig workers feel pinch of fuel price hike; union demands higher pay

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Gig workers in Bengaluru are facing a severe squeeze after petrol prices jumped to Rs 107.12 per litre – an increase of Rs 4.5 in a week – and are expected to rise further. Riders and delivery partners, who spend up to Rs 500 a day on fuel while working 8‑10 hours, say their earnings have not kept pace with the soaring fuel and living costs, making it difficult to take home even Rs 1,000. Workers claim platform incentives have become unattractive as competition grows, and the United Food Delivery Partners’ Union is demanding an immediate rollback of the fuel hikes and a revision of base payouts, arguing that gig labourers are forced to absorb rising operational expenses while app‑based companies continue to profit.

Gig workers feel pinch of fuel price hike; union demands higher pay

Bengaluru: The sharp rise in petrol and diesel prices in the city has sparked growing concern among gig workers, many of whom say their earnings are no longer sufficient to cover daily expenses. With fuel prices climbing by nearly Rs 4.5 per litre within a week — and further hikes expected — delivery partners and bike-taxi riders are demanding higher base payouts from app-based companies to cope with mounting fuel costs.
