Teamsters, Amazon delivery drivers, and labor allies picketed today on the steps of New York City Hall to support the Delivery Protection Act. City Councilmember Tiffany Cabán announced the bill now has supermajority support in the City Council.

The rally brought together Teamsters and Amazon workers from across the city to call for an end to the subcontractor model that drives down wages and working conditions.

The Delivery Protection Act would require delivery companies to directly employ their drivers instead of using subcontractors.

The bill would be a game-changer at Amazon and UPS Roadie, both of which use the scam subcontractor model to exploit drivers.

Councilmember Tiffany Cabán announced at the picket that, thanks to pressure from Teamsters and allies across the city, a supermajority of City Councilmembers have signed on to the bill. Earlier this week, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a video in support of the DPA and called on elected officials to act.

General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman spoke in support of the Act and thanked legislators for backing the Teamster bill.

“This bill is about making sure corporations can’t drive down wages by driving down standards that Teamsters fought for,” said Amazon organizer and TDU co-chair Antonio Rosario. “We will hold Amazon accountable and win.”
