New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced his support for the Delivery Protection Act, a proposed law aimed at regulating last-mile delivery services. The act would require companies like Amazon to hire delivery drivers as employees rather than contractors, thereby holding them more accountable for delivery practices and worker conditions. While proponents, including the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, argue it will improve pay and benefits for delivery professionals, opponents like Amazon contend it will increase costs and potentially slow down deliveries, possibly leading companies to relocate their operations outside the city.
