Amazon has threatened to eliminate thousands of jobs in New York City if a proposed labor bill, known as the Mamdani Act, becomes law, citing potential financial strain. The legislation aims to strengthen worker protections, including stricter rules on scheduling and pay transparency, which the company argues could make operations unsustainable. Labor experts warn the bill could trigger broader economic ripple effects, including reduced hiring and possible relocations of corporate functions. The dispute highlights the tension between corporate resistance and efforts to improve worker rights in the state.
