After sustained efforts by @gigwaindia since May 2024, @ndmaindia has issued a dedicated advisory on heat preparedness for informal & gig workers.
In a significant move, NDMA has also released an advisory on gender-responsive disaster risk reduction & resilience.
Over 25 crore workers has stopped work- not out of choice, but necessity.
When workers rise, it's not just about wages - it is about dignity, rights, and justice.
We stand in solidarity with all those demanding fair working conditions.

Air-conditioners are not a solution to the growing heat crisis they’re part of the problem ❌
ACs release hot air into already overheated environments, making cities hotter and worsening the urban heat island effect. 🌆🔥

Endless targets, no shade or water. India’s gig economy is built on worker exploitation.

@Swiggy @amazonIN profit off our orders in extreme weather—but don’t pay more for dangerous
conditions.

Companies offer no medical support. Time to hold @blinkitcares @amazonIN accountable.

We get AC + rest days. They get helmets +
heatwaves. Offer water. Offer dignity.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, stand with South Asia’s workers — from farmers to Zepto riders — facing deadly heat, floods & exploitation.
They're on the frontlines of climate collapse, yet excluded from decision.

Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs formally recognizes heatwaves as disasters! Urges inclusion in disaster plans, resilient infrastructure, and a long-term climate adaptation roadmap. A milestone, now for real action!

Toxic air. Deadly heat. Unsafe sites.
Climate change is making work dangerous.
No job should risk health or life.
Demand climate-safe workplaces now.
✊🏽 Stand with workers. Take action.

Workers power our world, but many earn less than they need to live.
Climate change worsens this injustice, raising living costs while wages stay low.
Fair wages and equal pay aren’t optional they are a right.

Workers power our world, but too often, they must choose between survival and safety. From rising #heat to #toxicpollution, #climatechange is escalating the #crisis.
Follow along this #week as we post about #laborrights because dignity and safety are non-negotiable for workers

🚨 RAISING FARES = RAISES INEQUALITY🚨 When public transport becomes unaffordable, already disadvantaged groups are further pushed out of public spaces .@OfficialBMRCL #RevokeMetroFareHike

Only few informal workers use the metro, and with rising fares, even that few are pushed toward unsafe, overcrowded transport. Affordable public transit is essential-not a luxury.
#FairFares #WorkersRights #BMRCL @OfficialBMRCL
Metro now costs more than a one-time meal for nearly 1 in 3 commuters. A 13% drop in ridership & a 20% drop in February alone show how fare hikes push people off public transport—ALL AT THE COST OF INCREASING POLLUTION AND CONGESTION .@OfficialBMRCL #RevokeMetroFareHike

India strengthened its climate commitments in its 2022 NDC, but the 2035 update remains overdue. Millions of workers face rising risks without clear protections. A just transition must go beyond clean energy-it must secure climate-proof jobs & safeguard livelihoods. #laborjustice

The fight for climate justice is also a fight for fair wages, safe jobs, and dignity. Extreme weather is pushing millions into deeper poverty. A just future means protecting those most affected
