Zepto strike enters day 6, company accused of blocking IDs of protesters

The indefinite strike by Zepto delivery workers in Hyderabad entered its sixth day on Sunday, Many 25, with the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) raising serious allegations against the company for retaliatory practices and attempts to suppress the protest.

Delivery partners across major dark stores, including Ramanthapur, Boduppal, and several other localities, have been boycotting deliveries since the start of



the week, demanding better working conditions and protection of their rights.

In a representation submitted to the additional labour commissioner E Gangadhar, the union accused Zepto management of permanently blocking the app IDs of several workers who participated in the strike or spoke to the media.

TGPWU termed the move as “union-busting” and an “unlawful and fabricated attempt” to silence dissent.
