US Market
Thousands of ride-hailing and delivery workers in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) went on strike on Valentine’s Day, calling for higher pay and other changes to their working conditions.
In the US, Uber and Lyft drivers planned day-long strikes in Chicago; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Miami; Orlando and Tampa, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Austin, Texas; and Providence, Rhode Island. Drivers were also holding midday demonstrations at airports in those cities, according to Justice for App Workers, the group organising the effort.
