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.

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

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

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

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!

[American Economic Liberties Project @econliberties]

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.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

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.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

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!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

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.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

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.

[Teamsters Local 804 @804_local]

Thank you Mr. Mayor!

Let’s get the Delivery Protection Act passed and enforced!!!!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

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.

TODAY: Nurses at @nychealthsystem @kingscountyhosp held an emergency rally to fight back against union busting and demand the immediate reinstatement of a nurse leader who was suspended for advocating for safe staffing.

[NYSNA @nynurses]

NYSNA nurses are proud to stand in solidarity with @Teamsters in their fight against Amazon and to improve the lives of working people across New York City!

[NYC CLC, AFL-CIO @CentralLaborNYC]

Companies like Amazon control the work & collect the profits, but leave workers without basic protections. The Delivery Protection Act would hold these companies accountable & improve safety for both workers & communities.

[Alvaro Bedoya @BedoyaUSA]

The Amazon driver who is forced to drive in extreme heat, starts vomiting, and is told to keep driving.

The Amazon driver who cuts his leg open, is told to keep going, goes to the hospital instead, and gets fired for it.

The driver who is attacked by a mentally ill man *while delivering packages,* goes to the hospital, stays home on doctors orders, and is docked pay for the days she's recovering.

The driver who is sent out with broken doors, a broken transmission, and has to keep going.

The driver who is sent out with a side mirror held together with tape, and is told "go buy tape, tape it again, and keep driving."

The same driver who is sent out with no reverse camera, in the summer with kids out of school who's told "just don't go in reverse."

The drivers sent out to drive in New York City with zero training.

...and Amazon takes zero responsibility for all of it.

There's a bill in the New York City council right now, today, that fixes all of this. The Delivery Protection Act has the support of the Mayor and a supermajority of the council. One powerful democrat, @SpeakerMenin, just needs to move it forward. NYC can make history, protect workers, protect people on the street, and check this lawlessness. Or it can leave these drivers hanging out to dry.

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

Amazon has employee-level expectations for delivery workers, but then pretends they're not employees. This allows Amazon to avoid accountability for unsafe or unfair working conditions these workers face.

Put the Delivery Protection Act to a vote.

[NYC CLC, AFL-CIO @CentralLaborNYC]

It's time for the City Council to bring this bill to a vote and get it passed.

[Teamsters JC 16 @TeamstersJC16]

When workers say what they need, LISTEN!

It’s time to PASS the DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

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.
