NYC business leaders deride ‘delivery protection’ bill

(The Center Square) — New York City business leaders are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to reject a bill to regulate Amazon and other delivery services, saying it would cost thousands of jobs and hurt the city's economy. The presidents of New York's five chambers of commerce wrote to Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin on Monday warning that the legislation , if approved, would "wipe out" more than 100 locally-owned delivery companies and the full-time jobs they provide. The chambers estimated job losses of between 3,000 and 10,000 workers, "depending on how the industry responds." "It is unfathomable that the city would advance legislation that puts thousands of jobs and businesses at risk when we have other options in front of us," the presidents wrote. "The full consequences for New York City's workers, businesses, and economy are too significant to allow this bill to become law as is." The proposal, filed by Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, a Queens Democrat, would require operators of "last-mile" warehouses and storage facilities to get licenses from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and meet new safety, training and employment requirements, among other changes. It would ban major logistics and delivery

Scoop: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028. Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for the White House, four people familiar with the talks told Axios. He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum. Why it matters: Behind closed doors, Mamdani has made a striking admission that helps explain why he's so eager to huddle with allies about 2028: He's uncertain whether New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, his close political partner, will launch a White House run, the sources said. If Ocasio-Cortez stays out of the 2028 race, it would upend the Democratic primary — and potentially leave the party's insurgent left without a candidate. Zoom in: Mamdani — who's ineligible to be president because he was born in Uganda — wants to coordinate with progressive leaders partly to prepare to unite against any leading centrist presidential contender they aren't happy with, according to one of the sources who has spoken with the mayor. Mamdani "wants the progressive ecosystem to mobilize quickly, strategically and efficiently if a

NYC councilman pulls support from Mamdani-backed Amazon delivery bill due to potential job loss

A Democratic New York City Councilman quietly withdrew his support from the controversial, Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed Delivery Protection Act aimed at cracking down on Amazon’s employment practices for “last-mile” delivery drivers — saying the legislation would lead to thousands of lost jobs, The Post has learned. Councilman Phil Wong of Queens recently removed his name as co-sponsor of the bill after meeting with small business owners who told him it would force them to shutter and lay off their employees. “I’ve been talking to many of the small businesses,” the pol, whose district covers Maspeth, Middle Village and other parts of Queens, told The Post on Monday. “If this bill gets passed, it will close a lot of them and that’s bad for my district.” NYC Councilman Phil Wong recently withdrew his support for the Delivery Protection Act. William Farrington for NY Post The councilman signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill when his far-left Queens colleague Tiffany Cabán introduced it in 2025. The legislation aims to end Amazon’s reliance on subcontractors by requiring the e-tail giant to get licenses for its 15 last-mile facilities in the city and hire delivery workers as full-timers. Other companies including FedEx would
