The Zomato delivery agents in Thiruvananthapuram who have been on an indefinite strike from Tuesday withdrew it after company officials agreed to their demands during conciliatory talks chaired by Additional Labour Commissioner K. Sreelal on Friday.
The delivery agents, who took out a protest march to the Raj Bhavan earlier in the day, were striking work over arbitrary changes in their incentive payments, which have drastically reduced their daily earnings.
As per the terms of settlement agreed to by the company officials, the weekly incentives have now been fixed in three slabs. For delivery amounts up to ₹4,000, the incentive has been fixed at 15%, while for amounts up to ₹5,000, the incentive will be 25% and for amounts up to ₹7,500, the incentive will be 35%. The rain surge bonus for delivering food during rains has been reinstated to the previous rates, with ₹25 for peak time and ₹20 for non-peak time.
