Mamdani Targets Amazon Subcontracting in Delivery Bill Fight
The Delivery Protection Act, sponsored by Queens Council Member Tiffany Cabán, would require last-mile warehouse and storage operators to obtain DCWP licenses and meet new safety, training, and employment rules. The bill, supported by the Mamdani administration, has 35 sponsors but is still laid over after an April 9 hearing. Amazon warns it could threaten 40 delivery partners, 5,000 jobs, and lead to relocating delivery operations outside the city.
