Flipkart—Flipkart warehouse workers struck over wage cuts and heatwave safety conditions
Indian worker federations reported a warehouse strike at Flipkart logistics facilities in June 2026 over wage cuts and what workers described as unsafe heatwave conditions in fulfilment centers. Strike organizers said Flipkart had cut piece-rate pay even as North India endured record heat exposures that prompted safety advisories. The company did not publicly respond at the time of reporting.
