Labor Groups, Elected Officials Demand City Council Pass Logistics Reform Bill

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien, Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, and hundreds of Amazon Teamsters will be joined by union leaders and elected officials for a rally on Monday, August 10 to call on the New York City Council to stand against Amazon's corruption and pass the Delivery Protection Act.

The Delivery Protection Act currently awaits a vote in the New York City Council. It would be the first ordinance to ban Amazon's third-party subcontracting model — referred to as Delivery Service Partners — that exploits workers, endangers communities, and shields Amazon from liability.

Amazon has already spent over $5 million to defeat the legislation, but the union and its allies are countering the e-retail giant's dark money with a massive wave of rank-and-file mobilization to pass the bill before the end of the year.
