Amazon spends $5M lobbying against NYC bill requiring direct employment of delivery drivers.

Amazon invested over $5 million in a New York political campaign to oppose a NYC Council bill that would require the company to directly employ its delivery drivers instead of using third-party contractors. The Delivery Protection Act, supported by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Council Member Tiffany Caban, aims to regulate last-mile delivery by mandating direct employment to improve accountability and worker protections. Amazon argues the bill threatens small businesses and could lead to relocating operations outside the city, while supporters say it fights exploitative subcontracting. The bill has strong council support and could make New York the first U.S. city to enforce such regulations.
