Shopee delivery workers in Rio de Janeiro have gone on strike, suspending services and protesting in front of a distribution center on Governor's Island, demanding improvements in working conditions. The strike began on Wednesday and is a response to the workers' dissatisfaction with their current working conditions.

The strike matters for social commerce as it highlights the importance of fair labor practices and worker satisfaction in the e-commerce industry.
