New York City May Ditch Amazon's Delivery Model in Favor of Worker-Friendly Alternative A proposal to end Amazon's "exploitative" delivery model in New York City has gained momentum, with City Council member Kshama Sawant's ally, Council Member Shahana Hanif, joining forces with labor activists to push for a change. The move comes as part of a broader effort to address concerns over the treatment of workers in the gig economy. If implemented, the proposal would require companies like Amazon to adopt a more traditional employment model, providing benefits and protections to delivery workers. The outcome of this proposal could have far-reaching implications for the future of work in the city and beyond.
