Uber, Lyft and DoorDash drivers are striking on February 14

It could be a challenge hailing a ride from certain airports on Valentine's Day this year. Thousands of rideshare and delivery drivers for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash are planning to hold a demonstration on February 14 to demand fair pay and better security measures, according to Reuters. The strike was announced last week by Justice for App Workers, a coalition representing more than 100,000 rideshare and delivery drivers across the US. 

Based on the group's page for the rally, workers participating in the demonstration won't be taking rides to and from any airport in Austin, Chicago, Hartford, Miami, Newark, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rhode Island and Tampa. The coalition is asking drivers to join the event and "demand changes from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and all the app companies profiting off of [their] hard work." Meanwhile, Rideshare Drivers United, an independent union for Uber and Lyft drivers in Los Angeles, also revealed that its members are turning off their apps on February 14 to protest "the significant decrease in pay [they've] all felt this winter."

While the strikes could see the participation of tens of thousands of workers, Uber believes it won't have an impact on its business since only a small portion of its drivers typically take part in demonstrations. The company told The Hill and CBS News that a similar protest last year didn't affect its operations and that its driver earnings remain "strong." In the fourth quarter of 2023, "drivers in the US were making about $33 per utilized hour," the spokesperson said. 

The groups announced the strikes just a few days after Lyft promised guaranteed weekly earnings for its drivers in the country, ensuring that they'll make at least 70 percent of what their riders had paid. DoorDash didn't respond to the publications' requests for comment, but it currently pays its drivers $29.93 for every active hour in states with minimum wage requirements for app-based delivery workers. It recently introduced new fees for customers in New York City and Seattle as a response to their new minimum wage regulations.

Pocket-Sized Electric Screwdriver has a 200RPM Max Speed to make your DIY projects easy breezy

With 10 different speeds to choose from, a maximum torque of 12 kgf.cm, the ability to spin clockwise and counter-clockwise, and an exhaustive kit containing 50 different driver bits, the Voltwist-V1 is a DIY essential. It makes disassembling, repairing, and assembling stuff ridiculously easy, and when all’s said and done, the entire kit (no larger than a bar of chocolate) can fit right in your workshop or even office table drawer for another day and another DIY project. Plus, at $56 for the full kit, it’s quite the no-brainer…

Designer: Voltwist

Click Here to Buy Now: $56 $89 (35% off) Hurry! Only 6 days left!

Barely the size of a fountain pen, the Voltwist-V1 looks like just a regular screwdriver, but packs a whole lot of impressive tech underneath. The pocket-sized electric screwdriver comes armed with a metallic body, a minimally slick design, and an intuitive user interface that leaves little to be desired. It all starts really with the LCD screen on the top, which tells you your battery level as well as the screwing direction, followed by two buttons below that let you toggle between clockwise and counter-clockwise movements based on the classic ‘righty tighty lefty loosey’ adage.

Swap directions just by pressing a button. Watch the screen for an indication.

You’d expect an electric screwdriver to be somewhat complicated to operate, but the Voltwist-V1’s design couldn’t possibly make things easier. Once you choose from the 50 bits that come in the V1’s kit, just load it in, and turn the knob at the tip to cycle between 10 different speed/torque settings (depending on whether you’re working with heavy-duty stuff that needs more torque, or small electronic items that you want to speed through). Select the setting of your choice, and simply hit the button under the screen to begin opening screws. Post-repair, the lowermost button helps you put the screws back, satisfyingly tightening them so that they don’t accidentally open after.

All you really have to do then is hold the screwdriver in place as it automatically rotates to tighten or loosen screws. A set of LED lights on either side helps illuminate your working zone, so whether you’re in the dark or your screw’s hidden away in a tiny corner, visibility is never an issue.

The Voltwist-V1 runs on a 650mAh battery, giving it its ridiculously slim and handy design. The Li-ion battery lasts 90 minutes on a full charge, getting you through lengthy projects without really needing to worry about running out of juice. If you do, though… a USB-C port on the reverse end of the screwdriver lets you charge it up to 90% in just 10 minutes, so a quick coffee break and you’re ready to get back to work. In fact, the Voltwist-V1’s case comes with a nifty little cutout that exposes the USB-C port too, allowing you to effectively charge your screwdriver while it’s still in the case (a clever way to ensure you don’t need to take your screwdriver out every single time you want to juice the battery).

Each Voltwist comes with a dedicated case that contains 50 popular S2 hex-bits to choose from, along with a magnetizer that lets you quickly and easily magnetize screws while working with them. The screwdriver itself is 5.3 inches long (the size of a standard fountain pen), and sits in a case 6.9 inches long, 2.8 inches wide, and weighing 0.92 lbs (422 grams) in total. Each Voltwist starts at $56, heavily discounted over its original $89 price tag. The Voltwist-V1 ships globally starting May 2024, so grab yours now instead of living in the stone age with those *ugh* manual screwdrivers…
