Amazon has warned it may cut up to 5,000 delivery jobs in New York City if the mayor’s proposed labor bill passes, citing concerns over increased costs and operational challenges. The company argues the legislation would force it to raise prices or reduce services, potentially affecting its logistics network in the region. Labor advocates counter that the bill aims to improve worker protections, including fair wages and benefits, amid growing demands for better conditions in the gig economy. The standoff highlights tensions between corporate interests and efforts to strengthen labor rights in major urban centers.
