Rideshare Drivers Stage Valentine's Day Strikes for Fair Pay
TL;DR
Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers staged a strike across the US, demanding fair pay and better treatment, citing disproportionate fees taken from their fares as hurting their earnings. The protest coincided with Uber's record-high shares and saw drivers from various coalitions picketing at airports and company offices. The companies claimed no impact on operations, while labor strikes have also emerged in the UK and Canada. The US Department of Labor's recent rule change and increased worker activism reflect ongoing tensions in the gig economy.
