Valentine's Day Strikes: Ride-Hailing and Delivery Drivers Demand Fair Wages

Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers and delivery workers are planning to strike on Valentine's Day to demand fair wages, safety protections, and more job security. Driver-led organizations in various cities are turning off their apps in protest of significant pay decreases and poor earnings during the winter season. The strikes aim to send a message to the app companies and demand fair pay and dignity for all workers in the gig economy. This comes after Uber and Lyft settled a wage theft investigation by agreeing to pay out $328 million to New York drivers in November.
