NYC Mayor backs law forcing Amazon to directly employ delivery drivers, risking higher costs and job losses.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani supports the Delivery Protection Act, which would require companies like Amazon to directly employ delivery drivers instead of subcontracting. The law aims to protect workers and hold corporations accountable but could increase delivery costs by $664 per household annually. Amazon warns the bill might force it to move delivery operations outside NYC, risking over 5,000 contractor jobs. Small business owners and delivery workers oppose the bill, fearing it will shut down their businesses and threaten thousands of jobs, especially in minority communities.
