Matternet CEO Andreas Raptopoulos discusses the race to scale drone delivery and the future of U.S. airspace economy on \u2018Mornings with Maria.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A Democratic-socialist policy backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani could cost New York City households an extra $664 a year, Amazon warned Fox News Digital, as a union-backed push to require delivery companies to directly employ certain workers could drive some delivery operations out of the five boroughs.<\/p>\n
“We’ve made clear to every Council member: we\u2019re not looking to leave New York City and our goal has been \u2014 and continues to be \u2014 to work collaboratively with them,” an Amazon spokesperson told Fox Digital. “Our priority is to continue creating good jobs and supporting our employees in New York City. We’re equally committed to the local small business partners who work with us every day to provide fast, reliable delivery for New Yorkers.”<\/p>\n
Amazon has publicly opposed Intro 0518, known as the Delivery Protection Act, which was introduced by Democratic-socialist City Councilmember Tiffany Cab\u00e1n and backed by Mamdani. The bill would ban large shipping companies like Amazon from using third-party contractors for last-mile deliveries.<\/p>\n
Amazon has publicly opposed Intro 0518-2026, known as the Delivery Protection Act, which was introduced by Democratic socialist New York City Council Member Tiffany Cab\u00e1n and backed by Mamdani. The bill would require operators of certain last-mile facilities to directly employ workers performing core services, including delivery, while restricting subcontracting for that work.<\/p>\n
“Corporations like Amazon build billion-dollar business models by insulating themselves from accountability through a system of exploitative subcontracting,” Mayor Mamdani\u2019s office said in a press release.<\/p>\n

“Through delivery subcontractors, corporations dictate hiring standards, delivery routes, steep productivity quotas and workplace expectations while denying that the workers making those deliveries are employees,” it continued. “The result is a system that leaves workers vulnerable and corporations free to avoid accountability for reckless conditions on city streets.”<\/p>\n

Amazon cited an analysis by consulting firm AKRF, commissioned by the Five Borough Jobs Campaign, that projected the legislation could increase delivery costs for consumers.<\/p>\n
“This bill would drive delivery costs up by forcing facilities farther from customers \u2014 increasing per-route travel time, fuel, and labor while reducing packages delivered per route \u2014 with full relocation modeling a 267% cost increase per package for deliveries currently handled by NYC facilities, service-level declines of 10 to 21%, and an additional $664 in annual delivery costs passed through to every New York City household,” the spokesperson told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
“As written, this legislation would put more than 40 [delivery service partners] and their 5,000-plus employees at risk \u2014 while likely resulting in slower, more expensive delivery for millions of New York City customers,” they added. “We’re evaluating all options to try and limit this impact, including the potential relocation of operations and delivery facilities outside of New York City.”<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces criticism for skipping a crucial Pied-\u00e0-terre tax hearing, opting instead to submit a written statement. Panelists on ‘Mornings with Maria’ debate the political fallout of the decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
That means moving outside the five boroughs to New Jersey, Long Island or Westchester to avoid city licensing mandates.<\/p>\n
“Many of the small business owners in this coalition are minorities and first-generation Americans who beat the odds to become entrepreneurs in New York City,” the New York Delivers Coalition \u2014 who joins Amazon in opposition of the bill \u2014 also told Fox Digital. “We built our businesses from the ground up in our own communities, often starting with ourselves or family members as our first employees. Today, many of us employ more than 100 New Yorkers, including people who have faced barriers to traditional employment and have built careers and financial security through these jobs. Intro 0518 puts all of that \u2014 the businesses we built, the jobs we created, and the futures our employees are building \u2014 at risk.”<\/p>\n
“We are small business owners in New York City, and we want the City Council to understand that many last-mile delivery companies are real, independent small businesses that hire from the communities we deliver in. We hire our own W-2 employees, manage our own teams and payroll,” the coalition said. “Large corporations like Amazon have the resources to adapt to sweeping new mandates. It\u2019s the independent small businesses they contract with that would be forced to shut down, putting the jobs of over 10,000 local New Yorkers at risk.”<\/p>\n

“We’ve invited every member to visit our delivery stations and meet DSPs and their employees,” Amazon said. “We hope Councilmember Cab\u00e1n will do so \u2014 we\u2019ve asked her directly \u2014 but haven\u2019t gotten a response yet.”<\/p>\n
“Our message is simple: come see how our businesses actually work. Visit one of our facilities, ride along on a delivery route, and talk directly to our employees about their jobs and what\u2019s at stake,” the coalition said. “We want a seat at the table before decisions are made that could put our businesses and employees out of work.”<\/p>\n
