Tell Amazon: Stop Exploiting Delivery Drivers
Amazon promises fast delivery. Drivers pay the price.
That's why New Jersey just sued Amazon, alleging the company used its Delivery Service Partner system to suppress wages, control working conditions, limit competition for labor, and discourage union organizing.
New Jersey exposed a national problem: Amazon controls the work, sets the pace, and profits from the pressure — then points to contractors when drivers demand accountability.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy cannot keep hiding behind contractors while Amazon tracks the routes, dictates the speed, and builds its empire on the workers who deliver its packages.
Every day, Amazon drivers race through neighborhoods under intense pressure to meet impossible demands. Too many are pushed to skip breaks, rush through unsafe routes, risk injuries, and stay silent because speaking up could cost them their jobs.
That is exploitation, and Amazon has the power to stop it.
Amazon must guarantee fair pay, safe routes, realistic schedules, bathroom-break protections, transparent performance standards, and the right to organize without retaliation. A company that can track every package in real time can make sure the people delivering those packages are treated with basic dignity.
Thanks for all that you do,
