Good luck if you're hoping to get an Uber or Lyft on your way home from the airport on Valentine's Day.
That's because drivers in 10 cities say they won't be working between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time on Wednesday. It's part of a nationwide effort among rideshare drivers trying to bring attention to problems they say they face on the apps, from low pay to having their accounts suddenly deactivated.
"We're sick of working 80 hours/week just to make ends meet, being constantly scared for our safety, and worrying about being deactivated with the click of a button," Justice for App Workers, a group representing 130,000 rideshare and delivery gig workers, said on its website about the strike.
