Amazon’s anti-worker practices are the biggest threat to organized labor in America. If Amazon is successful in driving down our union standards, everything we’ve fought for and won is at stake.

Teamsters and our allies are pushing the New York City Council to pass the Delivery Protection Act (DPA), a groundbreaking bill that would force Amazon to take direct responsibility for its drivers and make New York City neighborhoods safer. The bill requires all last-mile delivery companies, including Amazon and FedEx, to license their facilities, hire workers directly, abide by higher safety standards, and be responsible for any accidents that occur in their vehicles. Your councilmember is on the fence, which is why we need you to call them and demand they support the DPA.

It’s time to show Amazon what Teamsters solidarity looks like. Make a difference by filling out this form to call your New York City councilmember and let them know they need to support the Delivery Protection Act!

After you fill out the form, your phone will ring and a page with further instructions will appear in this window.

Script

My name is [Name], I live at [address], and I am a member of Teamsters Local [Local #] in [City, State].

I am calling to urge the City Council to support New Yorkers and stop Amazon’s abuse by passing the Delivery Protection Act (Intro 518).

The City Council can show true leadership by banning Amazon’s corrupt third-party business model and serve as an example for cities across America on how to protect workers.

As a Teamster, I strongly support the rights of workers to join a union. Amazon uses its third-party model to suppress its workers’ rights and avoid\ responsibility for worker and community safety.

Show New York what principled, moral leadership looks like by holding Amazon accountable. Stand with New York and support the Delivery Protection Act.

Thank you.
