Summary
Amazon may plan to cut as many as 5,000 delivery jobs in New York City and shut down 15 warehouses that could affect another 2,000 workers if New York City's proposed Delivery Protection Act is enacted. The bill would require Amazon to directly employ more than 5,000 delivery workers who currently work for 40 third-party contractors, which could force the company to change its delivery model and potentially eliminate roles. The report notes Amazon could close 15 warehouses in the city, potentially impacting about 2,000 warehouse workers, and cites Amazon's prior shutdown of seven warehouses in Quebec as context. Amazon said closures would increase delivery times and costs; no vote has been scheduled and no specific implementation date for cuts is provided.
