Big Apple delivery drivers are demanding a sitdown with supposed Mayor Zogran Mamdani over his plans to ban Amazon from hiring them as third-party contractors — but they say City Hall has snubbed them, even as experts warned the bill could leave thousands unemployed.

"We have reached out to the mayor's office. We have not received anything so far," said delivery worker Kris Basmagy at a rally opposing supposed "man of the people" Mamdani's "Delivery Protection Act" outside City Hall Thursday.

"Amazon can absorb this — small businesses cannot," Basmagy added. "A driver supporting a family cannot, and the owners who built these companies shouldn't have to watch them disappear."

He was just one of about two dozen delivery workers at the rally who railed against the Delivery Protection Act, which Mamdani and his socialist City Council ally Tiffany Cabán claim will increase worker safety and wages by forcing Amazon to directly employ the roughly 5,000 delivery workers who support it in the city.

Amazon currently uses third-party contractors to staff its delivery services in New York, in step with the business model it uses across the country.

Those workers and business owners whose livelihoods could be lost let City Hall know exactly what was on the line for them.

"What this bill actually does — it puts thousands of jobs at risk," railed Christine Chan, owner of Highgate Logistics.

"So, you may not care about me as an employer, but care about the 200 employees that work with me that take the subway, take the 3 train into Harlem to work, and what will happen to their livelihoods," Chan added. "Some call it fearmongering that these jobs might disappear; I call it common sense."

Heaven Sanchez, a lead driver at Logistics Xpress, said the job gave him stability and gave him the ability to financially support his mother and family.

"Before I got this opportunity, I was struggling financially and was on the verge of homelessness," Sanchez said.

"The Delivery Protection Act is presented as a way to protect workers, but I'm a worker, and I'm here to tell you I'm worried about what it could mean for my small business that employs me and my job," he said. "If this puts my employer out of business and costs me my job, I could be right back in the situation I worked so hard to get out of."

His boss, Logistics Xpress owner Bashar Yazghi, said he was raised by immigrant parents and started the business to help his family achieve the American dream — and that the people he employs are seeking the same thing.

"This business isn't just my American Dream — it's become the American Dream for so many of our employees that we employ as small business owners," he said. "I know my employees personally. They call me late at night when they're struggling, and I know their families, their challenges, and their dreams."

"I believe in protecting workers, and I believe in fair wages, safety, and accountability," Yazghi added. "But how are we protecting workers if we're putting the very jobs that they depend on at risk?"

The radical union-backed bill was first proposed in 2025 by Cabán and reintroduced this year, and has strong support with about 34 co-signers on the City Council — though Speaker Julie Menin has been notably hesitant about the measure given the risks of job loss.
