TEAMSTERS RALLY FOR DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT AT NEW YORK CITY HALL Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien joined hundreds of rank-and-file Amazon Teamsters and New York City elected officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, for a rally at City Hall urging Council Speaker Julie Menin to schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act. The Delivery Protection Act, authored by Councilmember Tiffany Cabán (D-22nd District), would require delivery companies like Amazon to register their facilities with the city and ban subcontracting for last-mile delivery drivers in the five boroughs. Amazon uses a corrupt subcontracting model in which third-party “Delivery Service Partners” shield the company from legal liability while making billions in profit. The bill is supported by a majority of the City Council and Mayor Mamdani. “Amazon is America’s most corrupt white-collar crime syndicate, wasting millions to rob warehouse workers of the right to collectively bargain while designing a nationwide subcontracting scheme to deny employment rights to its entire fleet of delivery drivers,” O’Brien said. “New York City is a vital artery of Amazon’s global logistics operations, and it must be the first city to pass the Delivery Protection Act. Amazon’s unchecked exploitation of drivers and parcel delivery workers has got to end. The Teamsters are honored to lead the fight to fix a broken system stacked against working people, and we thank Mayor Mamdani, Councilmember Cabán, and the supermajority of the City Council for standing with workers at this critical moment.”

BREAKING NEWS: Amazon Teamsters in New York City are on the verge of passing the Delivery Protection Act and becoming the first city to end dangerous delivery subcontracting. The legislation has support from @NYCMayor and a supermajority of the council. But New Yorkers are waiting on @SpeakerMenin to put this important bill up for a vote. Speaker Menin, the ball is in your court. It’s time to stand with workers and to listen to every day New Yorkers. It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act!

Clerks at DHL Express in Cincinnati, represented by Teamsters Local 100, have successfully joined the DHL Teamsters National Master Agreement. The group is now covered by the strong wages, benefits, and workplace protections of the national agreement and will receive an average wage increase of 38 percent over the next four years. In May, DHL Teamsters overwhelmingly ratified a new four-year national agreement that secured 20 percent wage increases, increased employer contributions to health and welfare benefits, established protections against artificial intelligence routing systems that undermine seniority, and an explicit ban on autonomous vehicles that threaten Teamsters jobs. Local 100 also represents 1,300 ramp-and-tug workers at DHL’s global hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Together with 1,500 sort workers represented by Teamsters Local 89, nearly 3,000 DHL Teamsters at CVG are gearing up to bargain a strong new contract.
