This is the third year of the ‘<a href="https://makeamazonpay.com/?link_id=4&amp;can_id=3483ce9a311068233a55d0aa42962f6d&amp;source=email-make-amazon-pay-2&amp;email_referrer=email_1749159&amp;email_subject=make-amazon-pay">Make Amazon Pay</a>’ global protests – covering 40 countries. The Make Amazon Pay Coalition, co-convened by UNI Global Union and the Progressive International, is a coalition of over 80 unions, civil society organisations, environmentalists and tax watchdogs like Greenpeace, 350.org, <keyword id="1155271" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tax-justice-network" source="Orion">Tax Justice Network</keyword> and Amazon Workers International. The coalition wants Amazon to pay its workers fairly and respect their right to join unions, pay its fair share of taxes and commit to real environmental sustainability. It <a href="https://makeamazonpay.com/?link_id=4&amp;can_id=3483ce9a311068233a55d0aa42962f6d&amp;source=email-make-amazon-pay-2&amp;email_referrer=email_1749159&amp;email_subject=make-amazon-pay">charges</a> Amazon with “squeezing every last drop it can” from “workers, communities and the planet” in the face of the cost of living scandal, global debt crisis and climate emergency. “Real wages are going down while the corporation rakes in record revenue - $121 billion for the second quarter of 2022 - and doubles down on its union-busting tactics,” the coalition said on its <a href="https://makeamazonpay.com/?link_id=4&amp;can_id=3483ce9a311068233a55d0aa42962f6d&amp;source=email-make-amazon-pay-2&amp;email_referrer=email_1749159&amp;email_subject=make-amazon-pay">website</a>. In India, the Indian Federation of App-based Transport workers (IFAT), Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union, Hawkers Joint Action Committee and Gig Workers Association are joining the protests. Thousands of workers, street vendors and supporters are expected to rally in over 20 cities including outside parliament in <a href="https://uniglobalunion.org/news/map22/">New Delhi</a> on Friday. The protesters will march to their respective district magistrate offices and submit a memorandum. “On Black Friday, in what has already been named #MakeAmazonPay day, unions, civil society and progressive elected officials will stand shoulder to shoulder to denounce Amazon’s despicable multimillion dollar campaigns to kill worker-lead union efforts. It’s time for the tech giant to cease their awful, unsafe practices immediately, respect the law and negotiate with the workers who want to make their jobs better,” <keyword id="9152786" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shaik-salauddin" source="Orion">Shaik Salauddin</keyword>, founder state president of Telangana Gig And Platform Workers Union (<keyword id="15617514" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tgpwu" source="Orion">TGPWU</keyword>) told Business Insider India. As per the coalition’s <a href="https://makeamazonpay.com/?link_id=4&amp;can_id=3483ce9a311068233a55d0aa42962f6d&amp;source=email-make-amazon-pay-2&amp;email_referrer=email_1749159&amp;email_subject=make-amazon-pay">website</a>, Amazon workers from Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bhopal, Bihar, <keyword id="6357713" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="uttar-pradesh" source="Orion">Uttar Pradesh</keyword>, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand are likely to participate. “These groups represent a variety of interests, and while we are not perfect in any area, if you objectively look at what Amazon is doing in each one of these areas you’ll see that we do take our role and our impact very seriously. We are inventing and investing significantly in all these areas, playing a significant role in addressing climate change with the Climate Pledge commitment to be net zero carbon by 2040, continuing to offer competitive wages and great benefits, and inventing new ways to keep our employees safe and healthy in our operations network, to name just a few. Anyone can see for themselves by taking a tour at one of our sites,” an Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider India. The protests could be crucial as Black Friday sales – annual retail sale events starting a day after Thanksgiving in the US when retail chains offer deep discounts – tend to provide a big boost in <a href="https://www.britannica.com/story/why-is-it-called-black-friday">sales</a> for retailers and e-commerce players globally. This year, most of the sales commence on 25th November and end on 28th November.

Indian trade unions to join global protests against Amazon India

<ul><li><keyword id="830092" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zomato" source="Orion">Zomato</keyword> has accused that it is taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of their partners and not put them under pressure.</li><li>IFAT is an association of 35,000 service professionals working with Zomato, Swiggy, Uber, Ola and others.</li><li>The company will start its 10-minute delivery operation in Gurugram from next month.</li></ul>Even as Zomato is celebrating its entry into the 10-minute food delivery space, the delivery partners — who are going to be executing it on the ground — do not seem too excited about it. The Indian Federation of App-based Transport Workers (IFAT) and Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) have called out the company for not fixing current issues in their system. The association has urged the company to treat their delivery partners as human beings. Shaik Salauddin, the national general secretary of IFAT and the founder state head of TGPWU, noted, “Zomato in most of the cases has not been able to resolve issues like leaked meals, which arises from faulty packaging and executing fast delivery. As a result delivery partners/workers have been penalised quite a few times. While planning to provide 10-min [sic] deliveries to its customers Zomato needs to resolve these issues and concerns of the workers.” “Further we urge Zomato to look [at] their delivery workers as human beings [as they] are more than data points for the algorithm to manage,” he added. Notably, IFAT is an association of 35,000 service professionals working with Zomato, Swiggy, Uber, Ola and others. He further noted that the company should take care of the issues and the concerns raised by the delivery partners before it assures the customers of “lightning fast” delivery. The company also needs to provide resting areas, access to bathrooms, charging stations and wifi access to its delivery partners before starting “finishing stations” for quick delivery in Gurugram, the association added. This is not the first time that someone has raised issues with the 10-minute delivery model. Previously, a netizen raised a petition to<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/swiggy-dunzo-zepto-and-grofers-should-roll-back-10-minute-delivery-says-petition/articleshow/89900739.cms"> urge companies like Swiggy, Blinkit (Grofers), Zepto and Dunzo</a> to do away with their 10-minute delivery services. The petition noted that the 10-minute delivery services adds extra pressure on delivery partners, who have to resort to overspeeding and traffic rule violations to fulfill these orders on time as well as avoid being penalised by the platforms. IFAT had also agreed to the content of the petition. Zomato has mentioned that it will not be showing the delivery time to delivery partners or penalising them for late delivery. The company has taken this step to ensure the safety of their partners and not put them under pressure. The company will roll its 10-minute delivery service in Gurugram next month and later look to expand to other cities.
