Claudia Irizarry Aponte at The City Reporter reports Amazon and more than a dozen of its subcontractors in New York City and the Suburbs face Union allegations they flouted a State Law that protects Employees from mass layoffs or closures. A complaint submitted to the State Labor Department by the Teamsters charges Amazon and 13 subcontractors violated the State’s WARN Act by failing to give the Mega-Retailer’s Delivery Drivers at least 90 days’ notice of their impending terminations. The complaints were filed on behalf of former Workers who claim their shops were shut down with no warning between September 2023 and October 2025. The Teamsters estimate more than 1,300 Workers were impacted by the closures. The Union also identified cases where Amazon subcontractors allegedly sent layoff notices after the layoff or closure date. The move comes amid growing support in the New York City Council for a Bill that would force Amazon to directly employ the army of Drivers and Depot Workers who currently work for local subcontractors to deliver an estimated 2 million packages each day across the five Boroughs. Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently came out in support of the Bill, which Amazon and business groups vehemently oppose.
