Tomorrow, passengers traveling to or from airports in 10 of America’s largest cities may have trouble getting an Uber or Lyft. That’s because drivers for those platforms have announced a strike to coincide with Valentine’s Day.
The strike is being spearheaded by the Justice for App Workers coalition, which represents more than 130,000 drivers and delivery workers. The coalition says the strike is to call attention to the fight for fair wages and better safety for drivers.
The strike is expected to take place at all airports located in these 10 cities: Austin (AUS), Chicago (ORD), Hartford, Connecticut (BDL), Miami (MIA), Newark, New Jersey (EWR), Orlando, Florida (MCO), Philadelphia (PHL), Pittsburgh (PIT), Providence, Rhode Island (PVD), Tampa, Florida (TPA)
