Valentine's Day Strikes: Ride-Hailing and Delivery Drivers Walk Out in US and UK

Thousands of ride-hailing and delivery workers in the U.S. and the U.K. went on strike on Valentine’s Day, demanding higher pay and improved working conditions. The strike affected cities in both countries, with drivers calling for increased minimum pay and collective bargaining rights. While companies like Uber and Lyft claim that the majority of drivers are satisfied, workers argue that they are not being fairly compensated for their work and are seeking better wages, access to healthcare, and an appeals process for deactivations.
