AAP MP Raghav Chadha had given his support to the nationwide strike of Gig Workers. The AAP MP had raised the issue of challenges for gig workers in the Rajya Sabha during the winter session. He had written in an ex-post during the Gig Workers’ strike – “Today, gig workers have announced a strike to bring forward their grievances. I raised their issues in Parliament earlier this month, and expect responsible negotiations from the platforms. I urge the management of Blinkit, Zepto and other companies to immediately intervene, negotiate and find true, humane solutions. India’s progress cannot be built on fear and exploitation. It must be built on respect and justice. Should go.”
