Valentine's Day Strikes: Gig Workers Demand Fair Pay

Thousands of Deliveroo and Uber Eats delivery drivers are planning to strike on Valentine's Day to demand better pay and improved working conditions, impacting four food apps and extending beyond the UK. The action, organized by a grassroots group of couriers, aims to draw attention to poor pay and working conditions faced by riders. The drivers are seeking fair compensation for their work and are protesting against what they describe as exploitative wages and risky working conditions. The strike also extends to the US, where drivers for Uber, Lyft, and food delivery firms are set to halt work for two hours.
