Amazon Teamsters and their allies rallied on the steps of New York City Hall today to demand a city council hearing on the bipartisan, Teamsters-backed Delivery Protection Act.



The rally followed New York City Comptroller Brad Lander’s release of a report detailing safety issues at last-mile facilities, which have been made worse by Amazon’s abusive Delivery Service Partner (DSP) model.



“Amazon doesn’t care about the well-being of New Yorkers,” said Tom Gesualdi, President of Teamsters Joint Council 16. “This company hides behind its DSP subcontracting model to dodge responsibility for worker safety, but this report pulls back the curtain and exposes the fact that injuries among delivery drivers in New York are skyrocketing because of Amazon. The Delivery Protection Act will give our city the power to hold this corporate giant accountable."



It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act to keep New York City workers and communities safe!
