The inquiry follows complaints by Platform App Based and Other Commerce Workers Union general-secretary Dr Laxman Mane, who highlighted the plight of hundreds of workers, including pickers, packers and gig workers. Deputy labour commissioner (enforcement) CB Jagtap has directed officials to investigate and submit a Labour Situation Report.

The union welcomed the intervention and warned of a Thane collector's office march if dues remain unpaid by Oct 15....
