"Ride-Hailing and Delivery Drivers to Strike in 10 Cities on Valentine's Day for Fair Wages"

Uber and Lyft drivers in 10 cities are planning a strike on Valentine's Day, protesting low pay and account deactivations. The strike, organized by Justice for App Workers, will take place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time and target major airports. Both companies downplayed the potential impact on customers, with Uber citing driver satisfaction and Lyft highlighting recent pay-related changes. Gig workers face challenges due to their independent contractor status, including account deactivations and lack of protections.
