"Valentine's Day Strike: Uber, Lyft, and Deliveroo Drivers Protest Pay in US and UK"
TL;DR Summary
Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers are set to strike on Valentine's Day in at least 17 U.S. cities, demanding better pay, transparency, and an end to unfair deactivations. Drivers argue that the companies are taking an increasingly large cut out of fares, forcing them to work longer hours to make ends meet. The strikes come amid declining pay for drivers, with Uber drivers' average monthly earnings before expenses falling 17.1 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year. Both Uber and Lyft have stated that they do not expect the strike to impact trip levels, prices, or driver availability.
