Uber drivers in Kochi launch a fresh strike, according to reports. The drivers’ union says the action follows the platform’s failure to meet commitments connected to their demands, including revisions to pay. The union alleges that Uber does not honour a promise to hold talks with drivers on July 30 to discuss their requests. Times of India and The Hindu both report that the strike is launched in response to unmet demands, and both link the renewed action to the lack of progress on negotiations. No details are provided in the available accounts about the scale of disruption, the number of drivers participating, or any specific counter-statement from Uber. The reports present the strike as a continuation of an ongoing labour dispute between the drivers’ union and the online taxi platform, focused on pay and the conduct and timing of promised talks. The situation is described as active as the strike begins, with the next step framed by the drivers’ demand for meaningful negotiations.
