Special delivery.

Special delivery. If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability. It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone. My uniform says Amazon. If I don't wear this Amazon branded vest, disciplinary action will be taken against us. The workers routes and hours are set by Amazon. So why isn't Amazon responsible for these vans? Because Amazon and other corporations have built a vast network of subcontractors that shield them from responsibility. Amazon tells these subcontractors where to drive, who to hire, and what hours to work. I do all the work that makes Amazon all the money. This is why I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act, sponsored by councilmember Tiffany Cabán. Because if Amazon is delivering your packages, they should follow the same rules of every other delivery company. When injuries and worker accidents skyrocket, Amazon says they have nothing to do with it. They can't have it both ways. By shielding themselves behind so-called independent operators, this trillion-dollar company is able to avoid regulations on our city streets. And that's why we want to pass the Delivery Protection Act.
