Ride-hailing drivers across the country went on strike Wednesday, saying their earnings are declining and calling on the U.S. Senate to pass the PRO Act to allow them to organize.

SAN FRANCISCO —

Ibrahim Diallo, an immigrant from Mali who lives in San Francisco, told MarketWatch at the rally that he has driven for Uber since 2015, and his earnings have decreased over the years. Diallo said he’s having to work more hours than before to survive, and with the recent shortage of drivers, he said it has been hard to take breaks.

“Can you imagine being paid 32 cents for anything in the U.S., and with gas prices rising?” she asked. Drivers also demonstrated at the L.A. airport on Wednesday, and similar efforts were planned in eight other cities, according to RDU: San Diego, Austin, Boston, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Denver and Baltimore.Uber and Lyft pushed back against the drivers’ allegations Wednesday.
