Victory possible because of all gig workers, cheers TGPWU
Hyderabad: The Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) welcomed the Telangana Platform-Based Gig Workers (Registration, Social Security and Welfare) Rules, 2026, calling it a significant step towards securing social security and welfare benefits for gig and platform workers in the state.
Congratulating the government, TGPWU founder Shaik Salauddin described the bike rally with Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy as a powerful assertion of workers’ collective strength.
“Workers are not merely individuals competing for orders on an app. They have the right to organise, collectively demand justice and secure dignified livelihoods,” he said.
He urged the government to implement the Act in a timely manner, operationalise the welfare board and welfare fund, and hold aggregators accountable.
“This victory belongs to the workers who made it possible,” he concluded.
