Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash Drivers to Strike on Valentine's Day for Fair Pay

Drivers across the U.S. and U.K. demand better wages and working conditions, impacting Valentine's Day services.

Over 130,000 drivers from Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash in the U.S. and U.K. plan to strike on Valentine's Day, seeking fair pay and improved safety measures.
The strike will affect services in 10 U.S. cities, including airport rides, and is organized by Justice for App Workers and Rideshare Drivers United.
Drivers criticize the companies for unfair wage practices and lack of transparency, with some reporting earnings below minimum wage.
Lyft recently announced a guarantee of weekly earnings for drivers, aiming to ensure they receive at least 70% of what riders pay.
The strike marks the first major action since Uber and Lyft went public in 2019, with companies downplaying the potential impact on services.
