There is so much energy to pass the Delivery Protection.

Join us in person this Thursday at City Hall and lets make it law!!

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

It’s time to pass the Delivery Worker Protection Act and keep last-mile delivery drivers safe!

DCWP is proud to stand with the workers who not only keep our city running, but are leading the fight for economic justice.

Thank you @CMRitaJoseph 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.

[Council Member Amanda Farías @CMAmandaFarias]

Thrilled to see @NYCMayor join us in supporting this critical bill led by CM @CabanD22 . It’s time to protect NYC workers, hold Amazon accountable, and make sure every delivery worker can do their job safely and with dignity.

Let’s get the Delivery Protection Act passed! ✊🏽

[Phara Souffrant Forrest @phara4assembly]

Bezos and Amazon have long deprived workers of their full rights AND made NYC less safe by using unaccountable shell companies to handle deliveries.

[Kayla Santosuosso @kaymsanto]

Making one of the largest and wealthiest corporations treat its workers, our streets, and our environment fairly? It’s on Prime.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

The argument that we must subjugate delivery workers as contractors—not employees—to keep costs low is disingenuous. Workers bear that cost with their health, finances, and even lives.

I stand with @tiffany_caban and @NYCMayor to support these workers. https://t.co/Bgu8zzNhNY

[Council Member Shahana Hanif @CMShahanaHanif]

Thrilled that @NYCMayor is joining our coalition to pass @tiffany_caban‘s landmark bill. It’s way past time to hold Amazon accountable and ensure every NYC worker is protected on the job. It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act! 🦾

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

For too long, companies like Amazon have operated like it’s the Wild West, flouting workers’ rights, putting communities in danger, and acting with impunity.

Thank you to @NYCMayor for supporting my bill, the Delivery Protection Act, to keep workers and communities safe.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Did you know that Amazon uses a corrupt business model to avoid paying hundreds of thousands of workers the benefits they’ve earned and deserve?

Thank you to @NYCMayor for supporting the Teamsters-backed Delivery Protection Act, which would finally hold Amazon accountable, put an end to their crooked business model in New York City, and require them to fulfill their obligations to their workers.

Together, we will ensure that the Delivery Protection Act is signed into law!

[DRUM #CeasefireNow @DesisRisingUp]

We were one of leading orgs to fight against HQ2 because corporations like @amazon want to socialize or spread all the expenses, liabilities, risks to the public, while maximizing privatization of their profits to themselves. They do the same for the delivery of their goods, externalizing costs and risks and accountability to workers and subcontractors, while maximizing profits to themselves.

We join the call for @SpeakerMenin to bring the Delivery Protection Act to the floor for a vote

[Shekar Krishnan @voteshekar]

Thank you, @nycmayor! NYC supports workers— whether its Uber/Lyft drivers, street vendors, or Amazon delivery drivers.

I’m proud to support the Delivery Protection Act and stand up to big corporations like Amazon that hurt their workers while raking in trillions in profit.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

O’BRIEN, ZUCKERMAN, AMAZON TEAMSTERS RALLY FOR DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT

Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman rallied with hundreds of Amazon Teamsters, allies, and New York elected officials at Teamsters Local 282 to urge the New York City Council to pass the Delivery Protection Act.

The bill would require Amazon and other delivery companies operating in New York City to license their facilities and make Amazon’s third-party Delivery Service Partner model illegal within the five boroughs.

“Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner model is the most dangerous business model in America today. It allows Amazon to break the law while hiding behind shell companies it has total control over,” O’Brien said. “The Delivery Protection Act is the blueprint for how workers can fight back against Amazon’s greed. The New York City Council must pass this critical legislation and do its part to protect American workers.”

[UAW Region 9A @UAWRegion9A]

In April, @UAWRegion9A members testified in support of the Delivery Protection Act at @NYCCouncil. Now, it's time to get this bill passed & to @NYCMayor's desk for his signature!

Join us on Thursday to show our support for delivery workers' rights. → https://t.co/jj8DvTPzHr

[Alexa Avilés @CMAlexaAviles]

Amazon’s harmed working-class communities like mine for long enough. 📦

I’m proud to stand with our Mayor in support of the Delivery Protection Act, sponsored by @CabanD22.

It’s time we go further to protect workers & environmental justice communities from greedy corporations.

[Amazon Labor Union IBT @amazonlabor]

Amazon wants the privilege of doing business in the greatest city in the world while exploiting workers and violating federal labor law every damn day.

Business as usual? Not anymore. It’s time to hold Amazon accountable.

Pass the Delivery Protection Act. 📦✊

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

It’s time to pass the Delivery Worker Protection Act. The current system of subcontractors evade accountability and puts workers at risk. This spring, I chaired a hearing where we heard from the workers that this bill is necessary to protecting their safety and livelihoods.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Thank you @CMShaunAbreu for standing with Amazon Teamsters in support of the Delivery Protection Act!

The movement for justice at Amazon is only beginning. Amazon Teamsters in New York will show America how workers can fight back and win against the world's most corrupt company.

[Teamsters JC 16 @TeamstersJC16]

Thank you @NYCMayor for standing with the Teamsters in the fight for good jobs and safety in this industry!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

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.
