New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has backed a bill targeting Amazon's delivery model, a move supporters say will make streets safer but which industry groups warn could add roughly $664 (£492) a year to household costs across the city.
Mamdani announced his support on Monday for the Delivery Protection Act, sponsored by Council Member Tiffany Cabán, in a video posted to social media. The measure would require last-mile warehouses to obtain city licences and hold operators such as Amazon and FedEx responsible for the workers who deliver their packages.
