New York City’s proposed Delivery Protection Act would require some delivery operators to directly employ workers who perform core services, including delivery, and would restrict subcontracting. Amazon says the measure could lift per-package delivery costs by 267% and add $664 a year for every New York City household, while putting more than 40 delivery service partners and 5,000-plus employees at risk, according to Fox News Digital. The company says the rules could push last-mile operations outside the five boroughs and potentially out of the city.
