TL;DR

Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers in the U.S. are set to strike on Valentine's Day, demanding fair pay and protesting high commissions taken by the platforms. The strike comes after Lyft's announcement to pay the difference if drivers make less than 70% of what riders pay. Drivers' groups argue that the current pay is insufficient to cover basic necessities, and some have seen a decrease in earnings despite the platforms' claims of strong driver earnings.
