Amazon Subcontractors Face WARN Act Probe | New York City News
Description
Amazon and its New York delivery subcontractors face a major union crackdown after the Teamsters accuse them of violating state law by firing over 1,300 workers without the required 90-day notice — some even after layoffs had already occurred. Drivers like Latrice Johnson, recently let go from Cornucopia Logistics, describe the devastating impact of sudden closures. The union estimates $11 million in unpaid wages, while Amazon insists it’s not responsible since drivers work for independent partners. Meanwhile, NYC Council pushes to make Amazon directly hire drivers — a move Mayor Mamdani backs but Amazon fiercely opposes, warning of potential exit if the bill passes.
