Lyft, Uber, and DoorDash drivers staged one of their largest strikes on Valentine's Day as part of pushing for fair pay and better protections. Strikes occurred in at least 44 cities across the US, with drivers refusing rides for at least two hours while gathering at major airports. Drivers are protesting low wages, a lack of transparency in pay calculations, and concerns about abrupt account deactivations.
