Hyderabad gig workers' union launches "No-AC" campaign due to rising fuel and maintenance costs for cab drivers.
Hyderabad cab drivers working for Uber, Ola, and Rapido are struggling with rising fuel and AC maintenance costs amid soaring temperatures, prompting the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers' Union (TGPWU) to launch a "No-AC" campaign. Drivers claim their earnings can't cover the increased costs due to per-kilometer fares, and are requesting tips from passengers for AC usage. The association is also appealing to the government to enforce stricter rules on platform companies and implement uniform fares.
