The '''All India Gig Workers Union''' ('''AIGWU''') is a [[trade union]] federation of [[Gig worker|gig economy workers]], predominantly in food delivery, in India. The federation is affiliated with the [[Centre of Indian Trade Unions]].<ref name="clb">{{cite report|publisher=[[China Labour Bulletin]]|author=P.K.Anand|date=2020-11-09|title=The All-India Gig Workers Union: A case study|url=https://www.clb.org.hk/content/all-india-gig-workers-union-case-study}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
AIGWU was founded in August 2020 during protests of [[Swiggy]] workers against a pay reduction.<ref name="caravan"/> During these protests, AIGWU moved from organic outbursts to a strategically thinking organisation.<ref name="clb"/><br />
<br />
In December 2020, AIGWU and other Indian trade unions, including the [[Indian Federation of App-based Transport Workers]], called on the [[Ministry of Labour and Employment (India)|Ministry of Labour]] to not exempt gig companies from contributions to state social security.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newsclick.in/Gig-Platform-Workers-Unions-Write-Labour-Ministry-Demanding-Universal-Social-Security|title=Gig, Platform Workers' Unions Write to Labour Ministry Demanding Universal Social Security|date=2020-12-20}}</ref><br />
<br />
In October 2021, AIGWU reacted positively to a push by the Indian government to reclassify gig work as employment.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.medianama.com/2021/10/223-gig-workers-reclassified-employees-india/|title=India's gig workers may be conferred employee tag in major government policy shift: Report|website=[[Medianama]]|author=Nishant Kauntia|date=2021-10-19}}</ref><br />
