Gujarat Unions Support Sahakar Taxi Initiative for Gig Workers

Gujarat Unions Support Sahakar Taxi Initiative for Gig Workers

Imagine taxi and delivery drivers getting together to form their own company, like a club.

This is what the Sahakar Taxi initiative is trying to do.

Instead of working for big apps that don't always treat them fairly, they would become member-owners and share profits.

This would mean better pay, help with things like healthcare, and fair treatment at work.

Unions representing drivers from Gujarat support this idea because it would give them more control and a better life, protecting their income and ensuring economic security.

The plan is to create a cooperative, which is like a company owned by its members.

The first step is getting the cooperative officially registered.
