It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on - Amazon's corrupt Delivery Service Partner model is a threat to every worker in America.
Amazon Teamsters are leading the fight to end this rotten third-party scheme. We call on elected officials at all levels to join us and fight back against Amazon's abuse.
We played "Pin the Driver on the Company" with average New Yorkers and they were shocked to learn that the Amazon drivers who come to their door to delivery their packages were not considered Amazon employees. After being told about Amazon’s subcontracting schemes, everyone agreed that Amazon should be required to employ drivers directly and take responsibility. We need your support to pass the Delivery Protection Act and make this a reality! Click the link to send a letter of support!

Following #PrimeWeek, thousands of Amazon workers are delivering packages in the sweltering heat wave.
When workers suffer from heat exhaustion, Amazon shrugs and tells them to go back to work.
We’re disappointed to see no new money and no steps taken toward @NYCMayor's green schools promise in today’s final budget.
Children’s health cannot be a year two, three, or four priority while NYC public schools are making kids sick and polluting our communities today.
🚨PRIME DAY ACTION🚨
Amazon workers at JFK8 took action and exercised their legal rights under 1) the NY HERO Act and 2) the NY Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Program. 💪🔥
Thank you @CMCarlWilson for co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act! Let's pass this legislation and prioritize safe streets and fair treatment for workers powering our city's economy.
Thank you @CMYusefSalaam for co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act! NYC’s delivery drivers and warehouse workers deserve to be protected from irresponsible and unsafe employment practices. The City Council must pass this legislation!
For @amazon, Prime Day is a celebration of record-breaking sales and profits. For workers inside Amazon warehouses, it means longer hours, increased pressure, exhausting productivity demands, and a heightened risk of injury.
John Mosquera is a Ramp Agent with Alliance Ground International (AGI) at #LGA Airport: “I’m here today because no worker should have to ask themselves a simple question before starting their shift: ‘Am I going to make it home safely?'”
Thank you @NYCMayor for signing this executive order on extreme heat and taking critical action to keep workers across #NYC safe.

We have less than a week to win Green, Healthy Schools funding in the NYC budget!
Together, we can win a blueprint for our green, healthy future — solar panels on the rooftops, energy efficient buildings, and ventilation renewable energy upgrades.
The workers who keep our city running are also exposed to rising temperatures and the health hazards of our worsening climate crisis.
Today we stood with @nycmayor, labor and community organizations, to celebrate an Executive Order that will protect workers from extreme heat.
Thank you @CMYusefSalaam for being the latest Councilmember to support The Delivery Protection Act!
With a majority of the New York City Council signed on, we will show companies like Amazon that it can’t exploit NYC any longer.
THE TIME TO PASS THE DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT IS NOW!

🎉ALIGN is turning 15!🥳
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary and reflect on our history, we remain committed to the fight — a New York with clean air, green jobs, and dignity and justice for all workers.
Thanks for being in the fight with us!
Amazon is so scared of The Delivery Protection Act it will fire workers who publicly support the bill. This is nothing but an attempt to silence worker voices by threatening our job security.
We won’t let Amazon stop us from fighting for the safety we deserve. The New York City Council can stop Amazon’s abuse by passing The Delivery Protection Act!
“They thought I would stay quiet, and they thought that by firing me, they would silence me. But I’m raising my voice, speaking out in my videos even more to explain to fellow drivers why these protections are necessary.” https://t.co/XC7oSWxFfm
