Amazon has warned it could shut 15 warehouses and move thousands of delivery jobs out of New York City over the Delivery Protection Act, a labour bill backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The bill would require Amazon to directly employ 5,000 contracted delivery drivers. Logistics experts say the retail giant is likely to follow through, pointing to its decision to close seven warehouses in Montreal, Canada, after a union drive.
