Gig workers in India, despite being crucial to platform companies, cannot choose their working hours even during extreme weather. Labour codes do not mandate companies to ensure occupational health, safety, or working conditions for gig workers, increasing their vulnerability to climate impacts. The Social Security Code includes gig workers, but the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code excludes them, risking their health and earnings. This issue especially affects women gig workers like Ganga from Faridabad.
