Couples hoping to get a ride home from the airport or order a food delivery on Valentine’s Day could be out of luck, with App drivers in 12 cities across the country set to walk off the job in wide sweeping strike action.

In a Feb. 8 statement, Justice for app Workers, a national coalition of ride-sharing and delivery drivers, called on Uber, Lyft, and delivery drivers “tired of being mistreated by the app companies” to join them in the strike by refusing to offer rides from the airport.
