NEW DELHI: If you are having trouble finding an Uber or Ola for yourself, it is because 3,000 of their drivers have aggregated at the Jantar Mantar in Delhi to strike against the two companies.A Delhi-based association, Sarvodaya Driver Association of Delhi has called for an indefinite strike from Friday morning against Uber and Ola. Two members of the association have even gone on a hunger strike.The strikers are enraged about the fall in earnings and lesser perks, amongst other issues. Claiming that they only get Rs 6/km from every ride, the strikers are demanding that these companies pay them the government sanctioned fare."They reeled us in by promising earnings of more than 1 lakh per month and now because of falling fares, we do not even have the money to feed our families properly. We are demanding that we receive the fare sanctioned by the government which is Rs 21/km. First, they induced us to buy cars under their schemes now they are adding so many new cars that it has become difficult for us to pay off our monthly installments," says a senior member of the association, Kamal Rathore.The striking drivers are demanding better perks, relaxed hours and accident insurance (in the light of the recent death of two Uber drivers), however hike in share of earnings, discontinuation of ride-sharing services, and a stop on addition of new cars remain the top demands."Ride-sharing has to be stopped. Out of 10 trips we get in a day, eight of them are on sharing basis. This drops our already weak earning to Rs 3/km. The companies can give as much discount as they want to the customers, but they should not make us suffer for it," says Rathore.The commuters meanwhile are facing a wait time of anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour on both the apps."A small group of people are disrupting the Uber service in parts of Delhi, and there have been isolated reports of threats and intimidation. We are working hard to ensure reliable rides are available for everyone and we can keep the city moving. We call on authorities to ensure the safety of riders and drivers," said a spokesperson from Uber in a statement.The ride-sharing services which have seen an increase in usage has come under fire not only from the drivers but also the regulatory authorities.While Karnataka has banned these services in Bengaluru (the companies have been given two weeks to comply with the ban), Delhi government has also raised objections to these services.The strike comes as a big blow to the companies, none of whom have yet resolved the issues in Bengaluru and Hyderabad - two cities which have seen frequent strikes erupting out."We are in talks with the drivers and many systems are already in place for complaint resolution. We are also in the midst of a developing regulatory framework and many issues have been raised. We have been trying to reach a common ground with the drivers," said an Ola spokesperson.On one hand, regulators are putting pressure on Uber and Ola to keep their fares in check and raising objections on ride-sharing services and on the other, the drivers are getting enraged about decreasing earnings, it remains to be seen how the taxi aggregators drive themselves out of this jam.(With inputs from Anu Thomas)
