"Amazon's labor practices are under fire once again as a high-profile dispute is brewing between the e-commerce giant and renowned labor rights advocate Mahmood Mamdani. Mamdani, a professor at Columbia University and director of the Institute for African Studies, has been a vocal critic of Amazon's treatment of delivery workers. At the center of the controversy is Amazon's classification of delivery workers as independent contractors, a move that Mamdani and many others argue denies them basic labor protections and fair compensation. As the fight between Mamdani and Amazon intensifies, it's likely to shed light on the working conditions and rights of hundreds of thousands of delivery workers across the country."
