The @TGPWU strongly raises this concern — who will be accountable when something goes wrong❓ Rules cannot be optional. 🚨 2/2 Kindly look into this matter @Ponnam_INC @TGRTAIndia @TelanganaDGP @CPHydCity @CPCyberabad @RachakondaCop

Allowing private number plate vehicles to operate for commercial purposes on platforms like #Rapido is a clear violation of the Motor Vehicles Act. This puts passenger safety and security at serious risk. Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union 1/2

This is the daily reality of Gig and Platform workers. 28 deliveries in 15 hours for ₹763 is not “flexibility” — it is exploitation by design. Algorithms push inhuman targets, deny fair wages, and strip workers of dignity and security. 1/2
28 deliveries. 15 hours of relentless work. ₹763 earned. This is not a “gig economy success story”. This is systemic exploitation hidden behind apps & algorithms. I raised this issue in Parliament recently. Low pay, crushing targets, no job security, no dignity for gig

Calling AVs “hybrid” doesn’t change the reality: Uber admits robots will take the easiest, most profitable trips first—hurting driver incomes. Without guaranteed earnings, social security & platform-funded reskilling, this is displacement, not innovation. Workers must come first.

Automation without reskilling, social security, or consultation with workers’ unions is jobless growth. Technology must serve people—not erase livelihoods. @GMRGroup @TelanganaCMO @LabourMinistry @TelanganaCOL @ilo #TGPWU #WorkersRights #Automation #Unemployment #FutureOfWork

60 Gig and Platform workers. 5 platforms. One reality: instability, risk, and no safety net. Students uncover what companies ignore—workers need dignity, fair pay, and protection. #GigWorkers #PlatformWorkers #TGPWU

Gig and Platform workers keep our cities moving but face ID blocks, fines, no benefits, and no job security. A study by Focus High School 9 students highlights urgent need for protections. Fair pay and social security are not optional—they’re essential. #GigWorkers #WorkersRights

The @TGPWU mourns the passing of Dr. Babasaheb “Baba” Adhav — a fearless leader who dedicated his life to unorganised workers. From Kashtachi Bhakar to defending the Mathadi Act even at 93, his legacy inspires us. We salute his lifelong fight for dignity and justice. ✊
