‼️UPDATE Even after @letsblinkit threatened and retaliated against workers, workers remained resolute in our strike and demands... so yesterday Blinkit began unblocking IDs But there are still ~50 workers whose IDs remain blocked in retaliation for these basic safety demands..
#Blinkit has blocked IDs of 150 workers for exercising their constitutional right ofvgoing on strike to demand: -An end to mandatory work between 12-4 pm. -Shaded waiting areas with drinking water, and fans. -Cotton uniforms for the summer. #WorldDayforSafetyandHealthatWork
