Amazon Teamsters Picket Outside NYC Hall Demanding End to Corrupt Delivery Model

Amazon Teamsters and their allies held an informational picket outside New York City Hall to call for passage of the Delivery Protection Act. This comes just three days after the Teamsters rallied in support of the bill, which has secured the endorsement of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a supermajority of the New York City Council.

The Delivery Protection Act would require companies like Amazon to hire their workforce directly, essentially making Amazon's corrupt third-party 'Delivery Service Partner' model illegal in New York City. Amazon uses this model to underpay workers, ignore unsafe working conditions, and shield itself from accountability when it breaks the law or endangers communities.

'Amazon Teamsters in New York City have experienced illegal firings, unsafe working conditions, and even bribery attempts from Amazon managers just within the last year,' said Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division. 'It is well past time to hold Amazon accountable in the five boroughs.'
