Over 8,000 Amazon workers at 20 delivery hubs in Delhi and Pune, India, stopped work March 16, a day after the bosses at the giant e-commerce company slashed pay for parcel deliveries. The drivers, mainly hired through subcontracting firms, are demanding the restoration of the regular rates for delivery plus health insurance benefits.
After this, the main drivers union, the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers, called for a national 24-hour strike. Some drivers at Amazon India went out in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad and Pune at the end of March.
A union statement explained that the rates for drivers of three-wheeled autorickshaws were cut from 35 Indian rupees (48 cents) per delivery to 10 for delivering smaller packages. Delivery van drivers’ higher rates were also cut.
