Amazon's delivery battle could hit your pocket hard? What you need to know about Mamdani's new bill

What Happened

New York City lawmakers introduced a bill requiring Amazon to directly employ delivery workers instead of using subcontractors. The legislation could increase customer delivery costs by approximately $664 annually and may prompt Amazon to relocate its ten distribution centers outside the city. Amazon warns the bill threatens 5,000 jobs across its 40 delivery service partners. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters supports the proposal. A public hearing is scheduled for Thursday at City Hall.
