Valentine's Day Gig Workers Strike for Fair Pay

Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers are set to strike on Valentine's Day across the U.S. to demand fair pay, with a coalition representing over 100,000 drivers accusing the companies of offering unfair wages and taking the majority of their commissions. The demonstrations come after Lyft announced it would guarantee weekly earnings for drivers, while Uber stated that only a minority of its drivers participate in such strikes and that they rarely impact business. The drivers' coalition emphasized the need for changes in the treatment and compensation of app workers, with protests planned in multiple cities.
