Amazon is in dispute with New York City lawmakers over a new bill that could force the e-commerce giant to directly hire thousands of delivery workers across the city, the New York Post reported on Wednesday. The bill, reintroduced this year by Tiffany Caban, is set for its first public hearing at City Hall on Thursday. “This bill lights a ton of dynamite under the delivery industry,” a source close to the development told The Post. According to a draft study by the consultancy AKRF, households in New York City may have to pay about $664 more per year for deliveries. A spokesperson, Matt McQuaid, said, as reported by The Post, the rules would also cover warehouses outside the city if they handle last-mile deliveries into New York City.
