Amazon May Cut Delivery Jobs and Close Warehouses Over Proposed New York Labor Law
Amazon is considering cutting up to 5,000 delivery jobs and closing 15 warehouses in New York City if the proposed Delivery Protection Act is enacted. The bill would require Amazon to directly employ over 5,000 delivery workers currently contracted through third parties. Supporters say the law would improve wages and safety, while concerns exist that Amazon might reduce its workforce and facilities, citing its warehouse closures in Quebec after a union drive. No vote on the bill has been scheduled yet.
