🚨MAJOR NEWS ALERT🚨
Thank you @NYCMayor for supporting the Delivery Protection Act!
Together, we will bring safety to our streets and dignity to thousands of Amazon workers in New York City.
It’s time for the @NYCCouncil to pass the Delivery Protection Act!
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.
I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

Amazon Transportation Operations Management (TOM) Team drivers out of the OIL9 Facility in Merrillville, Indiana, have joined Teamsters Local 142, marching on the boss to demand Amazon recognize their union and bargain a union contract.
Amazon TOM Team drivers carry a Commercial Driver’s License and transport freight in between Amazon facilities prior to last-mile deliveries. The TOM Team drivers at OIL9 are the first in Indiana to unionize with the Teamsters, joining TOM Team Teamsters from the SDF9 facility in Shepherdsville, Ky. and the MCI9 facility in Liberty, Mo.
Amazon Teamsters retweeted
Day by day, week by week, the Teamsters movement to unionize Amazon grows bigger and stronger.
Amazon TOM Team drivers have become the first Amazon workers in Indiana to join the Teamsters. The Teamsters have now unionized TOM Team drivers who work directly for Amazon in Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri.

Delivery workers deserve safe and fair conditions, and big corporations should be held accountable when they try to avoid responsibility.
Speaker @JulieMenin must put workers first and bring the Delivery Protection Act to a vote.
Since its reintroduction in April, the Delivery Protection Act has supermajority support in the New York City Council. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has committed to signing this critical legislation once passed. The only thing preventing New York City from making labor history? Council Speaker Julie Menin, who has failed to schedule this landmark bill for a vote.
Speaker Menin, it’s time to choose: Do you stand with every day New Yorkers who support the DPA, or with Amazon and other companies who endanger workers and the communities they deliver to?
Schedule the vote for the Delivery Protection Act and let the people of New York City have their say.

Bring it to a vote, @JulieMenin — or you're standing with billionaires over workers.

Companies like Amazon demand the most from their drivers. As one worker told us, it doesn't matter if your mom died yesterday, if your kid is sick, they don't care. You need to work.
But when it comes to negotiating fair conditions and pay, the company creating the poor conditions refuse to come to the table. The reason? Because many last mile drivers are employed through third party contractors, making it easier for Amazon and similar companies to skirt accountability.
The Delivery Protection Act would end this exploitive loophole and require last mile delivery companies to directly employ their workers.
Amazon Teamsters retweeted
Amazon Teamsters, with the support of a supermajority of the New York City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, are on the cusp of making a major, historic breakthrough to hold the $3 trillion corporation accountable by passing the Delivery Protection Act.
Speaker Julie Menin, schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act!

Thank you @OswaldFeliz for joining our movement to pass the Delivery Protection Act!
We have the votes in @NYCCouncil. We have the support of @NYCMayor. Now we just need a vote.
Schedule a vote for the Delivery Protection Act NOW!

Thank you, @NYCMayor, for your support of the Amazon Teamsters movement and for endorsing the Delivery Protection Act to hold companies like Amazon accountable when they break the law.
Every worker deserves dignity and respect on the job, and we are proud to stand together in the fight against the world’s greediest company. It’s long past time to pass the Delivery Protection Act and show companies like Amazon that the days of exploiting workers and endangering our communities are over.
When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
When we see that traffic and injury-causing crashes spike on the streets around a warehouse — that's exploitation. And it makes our streets less safe.
We stand with working people, not corporations that profit by denying them their rights. We stand with @Teamsters and for safe streets in New York City.
We will pass the Delivery Protection Act.

When New York City passes the Teamsters-backed Delivery Protection Act, it will kickstart a movement nationwide to finally put an end to Amazon's exploitation and ensure that the workers who make the $3 trillion delivery giant run get the pay and benefits they deserve.

Amazon’s vest. Amazon’s van. Somehow, not Amazon’s employee.
“What is that, if not exploitation?” asks Zohran Mamdani at yesterday’s City Hall rally.
The Delivery Protection Act has supermajority support. Unions & community groups want Speaker Julie Menin to bring it to a vote.

Whether it’s throughout the hospitality or delivery industry, we’ve seen how crucial direct employment is to ensuring workers receive the protections, wages, and dignity they deserve.
HTC was proud to stand with labor and elected officials today to support the Delivery Protection Act, which will improve the lives of thousands of workers across our city.
TEAMSTERS RALLY FOR DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT AT NEW YORK CITY HALL
Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien joined hundreds of rank-and-file Amazon Teamsters and New York City elected officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, for a rally at City Hall urging Council Speaker Julie Menin to schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act.
The Delivery Protection Act, authored by Councilmember Tiffany Cabán (D-22nd District), would require delivery companies like Amazon to register their facilities with the city and ban subcontracting for last-mile delivery drivers in the five boroughs. Amazon uses a corrupt subcontracting model in which third-party “Delivery Service Partners” shield the company from legal liability while making billions in profit. The bill is supported by a majority of the City Council and Mayor Mamdani.
“Amazon is America’s most corrupt white-collar crime syndicate, wasting millions to rob warehouse workers of the right to collectively bargain while designing a nationwide subcontracting scheme to deny employment rights to its entire fleet of delivery drivers,” O’Brien said. “New York City is a vital artery of Amazon’s global logistics operations, and it must be the first city to pass the Delivery Protection Act. Amazon’s unchecked exploitation of drivers and parcel delivery workers has got to end. The Teamsters are honored to lead the fight to fix a broken system stacked against working people, and we thank Mayor Mamdani, Councilmember Cabán, and the supermajority of the City Council for standing with workers at this critical moment.”

When workers say what they need, LISTEN!
It’s time to PASS the DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT!
Amazon Teamsters retweeted
Zohran, city council members, and labor leaders rallied today outside City Hall in support of the Delivery Protection Act, proposed in New York City, which would force Amazon to take responsibility for these workers.
Amazon is using subcontractors to hire and manage delivery drivers without officially employing those workers, all to skirt liability for damages or injuries, and this bill would remedy that injustice.
