	"description": "The delivery drivers in NYC wearing Amazon vests, driving Amazon vans, and delivering Amazon packages don’t work for Amazon. At least, according to Amazon… Our City Socialists in Office have partnered with Teamsters Local 804 to change this with the Delivery Protection Act. The bill would force Amazon to employ last mile delivery drivers directly, and implement extensive regulations to protect Workers and New Yorkers from Amazon&#x27;s exploitative practices. NYC-DSA is standing with these essential workers. Join us on our Mass Call on Monday, April 6th, at 7pm to hear from City Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, our City Socialist in Office Coordinator Rachel Himes, Teamster Local 804 Chief of Operations Josh Pomeranz, and Amazon Worker Jerome Sloss to learn how to join the fight. After the call, make sure to join us on April 9th at 8:30am to rally with the Teamsters in support of the bill and drown out Amazon&#x27;s astro-turfed supporters! And send a letter to your city councilmember and demand they stand up to Amazon and pass the Delivery Protection Act! More details below: The drivers that Amazon needs to deliver hundreds of millions of packages in NYC a year are technically &quot;subcontractors.&quot; That means Amazon doesn&#x27;t need to take any responsibility for the rampant pollution, unsafe streets, and exploitative working conditions that produce their record profits. And if workers organize to fight back, Amazon can cut ties with the shell company that employs them without any repercussions. Our City Socialists in Office have partnered with Teamsters Local 804 to change this with the Delivery Protection Act. The bill would force Amazon to employ last mile delivery drivers directly, and implement extensive regulations to protect Workers and New Yorkers from Amazon&#x27;s exploitative practices. If this bill passes, NYC would become the first municipality in the country to require big corporations like Amazon to directly employ their Last Mile warehouse and delivery workers instead of relying on shell “subcontractors” to evade responsibility. This would be a groundbreaking, historic change. And Amazon knows it. That&#x27;s why they are spending millions of dollars to fight its passage, pressuring politicians and bribing workers to say nice things about working for them. We won&#x27;t let them win. Join the fight to bring Amazon to heel. This is a VIRTUAL EVENT ONLY, please RSVP to receive the Zoom link for the event!",
