A social security board for gig workers, implementation of the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014 and the creation of street vending zones, were a few of the demands which a coalition of organisations working for the welfare of unorganised sector workers sought.
Action Aid coordinated a roundtable discussion that saw the participation of organisations such as the National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), and the Association for Socio-Economic Empowerment of the Marginalised and Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU).
Shaik Salauddin from the TGPWU said that ahead of the elections, the body demands a tripartite social security board, job, and physical safety of workers.
