Thousands of drivers for the ridesharing/delivery platforms Uber, Lyft and DoorDash began striking February 14 in cities across the U.S. and the U.K. for better benefits.

According to KXAS-TV, Uber and Lyft drivers are holding daylong strikes in Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Miami, Orlando, Austin, Newark and several other cities. Drivers are also planning to hold midday demonstrations at several major airports throughout the U.S., said Justice for App Workers, the group that organized the protests.

Drivers are asking for safer working environments, better wages, healthcare and mental healthcare, bathroom access locations, an end to “unfair” deactivation and the right to unionize.

“We're fed up with low pay [and] bad safety. We have attacks on drivers on a daily basis, and dozens and dozens have lost their lives,” said Justice for App Workers representative Lenny Sanchez. “[Consumers] are paying more for the service while we are getting paid less. And during a time of inflation where the cost of vehicles, maintenance, fuel has all increased. Other wages across the country have increased, but in our case, they have decreased.”

The demonstrations come a few years after Uber launched Uber Connect Same-Day Package Delivery, a package transportation service that is available in more than 25 cities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia.

Lyft also recently joined the package delivery industry after it launched Lyft Delivery, a service that allows people to send and receive deliveries from restaurants, pharmacies, retailers, auto parts stores and other businesses, according to The Rideshare Guy.

Uber said February 13 that it doesn’t think the strike will have a major impact on the company’s operations. DoorDash also said it doesn’t expect the strikes to significantly hinder its Valentine’s Day business.

“These types of events have rarely had any impact on trips, prices or driver availability,” Uber said in a statement. “That’s because the vast majority of drivers are satisfied.”
