The strike by the Swiggy delivery executives has come to an end now and nearly after a week of time the executives have reported for their work on Thursday.
The executives want their old pay structure to resume again and this has been the reason for the strike from last Thursday. On Wednesday, partial services started and this was after the representatives of Swiggy met the delivery executives and convinced them to return back to their duty. A senior police officer also took part in this meeting.
Over the last couple of days, Swiggy representatives had positive dialogue with the partners to explain the revised pay-outs and assuage their concerns. The revised services fee has been understood by the partners and this was appreciated by the company’s representatives. It is worth mentioning that the revised services fee has been the best in the industry.
The statement from Swiggy highlighted that the most active partners have made Rs 45 per order and high performing partners have made Rs 100 per order. It added that the partners earn incentives over and above this making their monthly service fee much higher. The point is no Swiggy delivery partner in Chennai city makes only Rs 15 or lesser per order on an average.
A Swiggy delivery executive spoke his heart out. He mentioned how the resumption of rates was yet to reflect on their apps. He explained about how the payment structure would be changed to include the waiting charges at the restaurants plus customer point payout of Rs 5 and removal of zones etc.
