#Amazon Says It Has a #FirstAmendment Right to #UnionBust
In response to an #NLRB complaint, Amazon argues that preventing it from holding captive-audience meetings violates Constitution. Amazon argues it is not the employer of these drivers because of its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) system—Amazon contracts third-party delivery companies as DSPs, which in turn employ drivers, though it has hired anti-#union consultants specifically to target its #deliverydrivers.

The #ecommerce giant has been ruled a joint #employer with its #delivery service providers, and now #workers are seeking to organize with the #Teamsters.
Last year, 84 #Amazon workers from #Palmdale became the first group of Amazon #deliverydrivers in the country to #organize a #union.
A worker movement began shortly after and over 50 Amazon warehouses across 10 states extended #picketlines in #solidarity with the Amazon Teamsters from Palmdale.
Because of the courageous organizing of these Amazon Teamster drivers, the trillion-dollar company now has a legal duty to recognize and bargain with the Teamsters Union.
The refusal to provide such basic protections for delivery drivers has tragic consequences every year, with workers suffering heat stroke and even dying.
Amid record temperatures, #UPS delivery drivers still without air conditioning
Really not happy about this. They work so hard! 😠

During Some of #Hottest Months in History, Millions of App #DeliveryDrivers Are Feeling the Strain
Around 4M people in US work as #contractors for app services like #DoorDash delivering pizzas, salads and pad thai. Those in areas with #extremeheat are taking new measures to keep working through it. Some days, delivery drivers walk 20 minutes or climb four floors of stairs in a 116-heat index just to deliver one order.

#DeliveryDrivers want protection against #heat. But it's an uphill battle...
https://www.npr.org/2023/07/20/1188282961/delivery-drivers-want-protection-against-heat-but-its-an-uphill-battle
"#OSHA, the federal agency that oversees workplace safety, has recommendations for how employers should handle heat – but it's still in the process of drafting heat-specific worker protections."
"Even on scorching days, said Singh, “#Amazon sets these ridiculous paces. Some people even have to miss their guaranteed 15-minute breaks, because if we break the pace, they contact us to try and find out why we’re behind.”
#Heat exposure affects #DeliveryDrivers across companies. #UPS has reported at least 143 heat-related injuries on the job in recent years, and a United States #Postal Service driver recently died of heat exposure."

#Brazil #GigEconomy #DeliveryDrivers #SubContracting #iFood: "Most delivery drivers work for iFood in a way similar to how Uber Eats and other delivery platforms operate around the world: as gig workers not formally employed by the company. Guilherme is part of a secondary method where iFood recruits delivery drivers through third-party companies, known locally as OLs (logistical operators). According to iFood’s own statistics, 25% of its delivery drivers are subcontracted workers, hired through companies like CR Express, which operates in 13 of Brazil’s 26 states and is one of the biggest delivery-driver subcontracting firms in the country.
Once they’ve signed on with a subcontractor, delivery drivers do not become formal employees, but the way they interact with the iFood platform changes. They are only able to log into the delivery app during pre-approved shifts assigned by the subcontracting company. Managers allocate shifts to delivery workers over a separate messaging app, usually WhatsApp or Telegram. Drivers can sign up for one or more four-hour shifts a day — however, delivery workers subcontracted by companies including Dafi, MX Delivery, and Caetano Enterprise told Rest of World that in practice, they’re expected to take on at least three such shifts a day, or risk not getting one at all."

#AmazonDrivers Are Actually Just "Drivers Delivering for Amazon," #Amazon Says
Striking drivers, unionized with the International Brotherhood of #Teamsters, Amazon's argument is that actual #deliverydrivers are employed by 3rd-party #delivery companies, known as delivery service partners (DSP) , though they work in Amazon facilities to deliver Amazon packages, and how they work, when, and how much they get paid is largely determined by terms Amazon sets with the DSP.

Revolutionary eco-driver initiative aims to create a 'green van man' army in UK

Perhaps the scheme could be extended to all drivers. It just might encourage better driving, and awareness of all road users, including pedestrians & cyclists.
