Teamsters President Sean O’Brien (@TeamsterSOB) criticizes Amazon at a press conference on the Delivery Protection Act: "They do not want these people to have a career path...they focus on keeping working people down.
The fight to unionize Amazon is labors most militant fight at this moment.
We need all hands on deck to show this $2 trillion dollar company that worker power WORKS! 💥
Amazon "treats us like we're in a situationship.... yet they expect marriage commitment from us." 🔥
Delivery workers deserve better than a one-sided commitment -- it's time to get the Delivery Protection Act over the finish line!
Who Moves America is an Official Selection at this year’s @WorkersUniteFF! Join us at @cinema_village in NYC this Sunday for a screening + Q&A with the filmmakers, preceded by the premiere of the short film ‘ORGANIZE OR DIE: The Story of Local 78’.
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.
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.
We've been blown away by the response to Who Moves America! It’s been a blast touring cities and having conversations with filmgoers, organizers, Teamsters, and even mayors. Thank you for showing up!!
Delivery Protection Act rally at City Hall
It’s time to hold @amazon and any company putting delivery drivers at risk accountable for their shady business practices!
New York City can no longer allow Amazon to hide behind subcontractors so they can exploit its workers and pollute our streets.
That’s why @NYCComptroller@nycpa@bradhoylman and I are calling on @NYCCouncil to delay no further, and bring the Delivery Protection Act to a vote!
It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act and make our streets safer!
If we are serious about protecting workers and delivering economic justice to all New Yorkers, we must confront the systems that are holding us back.
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.
Mayor Mamdani upps pressure on Speaker Menin, rallying w/ Teamsters for a bill that’d block retail giants from using 3rd parties to make deliveries.
“Corporations like Amazon operate on a model of exploitation & they are spending millions of dollars to convince NYers otherwise”
Mayor Mamdani rallies with Amazon Teamsters and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien to call for the passage of the Delivery Protection Act, which would hold Amazon accountable instead of letting it hide behind a network of subcontractors.
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.
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.
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!
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.
