Teamsters applaud New York Deputy Senate Leader Senator Michael Gianaris and Assembly Majority Leader Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes upon introduction of the 21st Century Anti-Trust Act in New York today. Our union strongly supports passage of this vital legislation, to protect the working people of New York from Big Tech bullies, and their corrupt business practices.
The act would update New York’s century-old antitrust laws to address the abuses of today’s mega-corporations. Companies like Amazon would no longer be able to use their dominant position in the market to exploit workers and small businesses. The legislation would also require review of corporate mergers based on their impact on workers and would give employees a voice in the merger-approval process. It was introduced in both houses of the legislature this week.
“Amazon is a bully that thinks it can cheat the system to abuse workers and get away with it. We won’t let this corporate criminal drive down the pay and industry standards set by the Teamsters. We will hold Amazon accountable for its corrupt business practices,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien.
