The workers who wear Amazon vests and drive vans with the company’s logo aren’t legally employed by Amazon. But that could change in New York City, under legislation that Teamsters and Amazon workers alongside the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are organizing to pass. The Delivery Protection Act would require Amazon, alongside FedEx and other companies, to directly employ drivers rather than rely on third-party subcontractors. It would also establish safety, training, and labor standards for delivery drivers.

Useful news about improving people’s lives, not party politics, political tribalism, or endless ideological arguments. Topics include workers’ rights, unions, economic inequality, poverty, education access, prison reform, civil rights, public services, cooperatives, and democratic socialist ideas.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. Let’s keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don’t like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.
