A New York business group including Amazon bought a $200,000 ad during the NBA Finals to oppose the Delivery Protection Act, a proposed NYC law requiring Amazon to hire thousands of delivery workers directly and license last-mile centers. The bill aims to regulate Amazon's delivery model but could raise delivery costs for New Yorkers by about $664 annually and potentially force Amazon to relocate operations outside the city. Amazon warns this would slow deliveries and increase prices, impacting millions of customers. The campaign will continue throughout the Finals as the bill faces strong debate in the City Council.
