Mamdani's regulation that 'angered' Amazon may impose an extra $664 per year fee
Mayor Zohran Mamdani backs a bill requiring delivery firms to directly employ drivers. This legislation faces opposition from companies like Amazon, which warns of job losses. Critics argue the direct-hire mandate will eliminate small businesses and raise consumer prices. Separately, Mamdani issued notices to retailers over illegal e-bike sales. The city aims to enhance public safety by addressing dangerous devices.
