New York City is poised to shake up the logistics industry with a bold new proposal that could significantly alter the way Amazon and FedEx deliver packages to residents. Under the proposed law, the city would require major shipping companies like Amazon and FedEx to directly employ their delivery drivers, rather than contracting them out to third-party vendors. This move could have far-reaching implications for the gig economy and the millions of workers who rely on these jobs for their livelihood. If enacted, New York City would become a pioneer in this effort, potentially forcing other cities to follow suit and re-examine the way they regulate the gig economy.
