NYC CLC, AFL-CIO Sec-Treas Janella T. Hinds: “The subcontracting structure in last-mile delivery drives unsafe conditions & weakens accountability. Intro 1396 meets this head on, setting clear standards for operators & making them responsible for the jobs & the delivery practices they oversee.”

Today we stood with the Teamsters, Comptroller Brad Lander, Council Member Tiffany Cabán, and others calling for changes to last mile delivery services that ensure workers and communities have the protections they deserve.
“We thank Comptroller Lander and his staff for documenting the impact of an industry that has expanded without real oversight. The findings echo what workers and the Labor Movement have raised for years,” said New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Janella T. Hinds. “The subcontracting structure in last-mile delivery drives unsafe conditions and weakens accountability. Intro 1396 meets that problem head on by setting clear standards for operators and making them responsible for the jobs and the delivery practices they oversee. We urge the City Council to pass this legislation and give workers and communities the protections they deserve.”

We are proud to stand with NYSNA as they fight for a healthcare system that invests in patients and safe staffing.

These nurses care for our communities with skill, compassion, and a deep commitment to the health of every patient. And the NYC Labor Movement cares for our nurses.
