This Wednesday, Americans are projected to collectively spend billions of dollars on celebrating Valentine's Day with their romantic partners. Various consumer reports also indicate that much of the money will go to dinner dates, jewelry, flowers, and clothing.

Unlike previous Valentine's Days, spenders aren't as likely to pick up presents for platonic loved ones this time around. It seems that given the current state of the economy, people who do celebrate February 14 want to reserve their resources for their romantic partners.

However, one more surprise may be just around the corner as Wednesday gets closer. A non-profit organization known as Justice For App Workers is encouraging drivers on platforms like Lyft, DoorDash, and Uber to go on strike this Valentine's Day.

An important public service announcement for Americans

In a press release, the nonprofit declared that folks working on different apps have grown fed-up with mistreatment. It is Justice For App Workers' view that far too many people have to work 80-hour weeks for meager pay, while also facing safety concerns and fears of instant deactivation from these platforms.

As such, delivery and rideshare motorists remain encouraged to turn off their apps on Valentine's Day in the hopes that going on strike sends a message. Specifically, Justice For App Workers wants drivers to steer clear of providing any service to airports in the following cities:

• Tampa
• Orlando
• Miami
• Chicago
• Austin
• Newark
• Hartford
• Pittsburgh
• Philadelphia
• Providence

Calling to "shut it down," the non-profit declared that motorists who wish to engage in the strike should refuse to work from 11am to 1pm on Wednesday.

Will it stick?

Some drivers who feel disgruntled with Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash could very well participate in the strike, thereby cutting back on available service. However, others may be more inclined to pick up riders, given the increased demand for transportation that tends to emerge during holidays.

For what it's worth, some of these app companies have worked to address concerns raised by drivers. Lyft, for instance, recently announced an uptick in base pay for all motorists, along with financial bonuses for wait times, scheduled rides, and pickups in electric vehicles.
