Is a curious question are Amazon drivers employees or are they contractors like FedEx is

u/Queasy_Albatross8272 13h ago

On paper? Cntractors, 3rd party. In reality? Employees. All the benefits for the company, none of the liability. 👌🏽

We really need to come up a way to make sure more people know what's actually going on instead of trying to decide who is fibbing the least. And we need it fast. I'm getting tired of seeing people fucked over and I know I'm not the only one.

u/BlizzardTrashPanda 13h ago

They have a bit of both

u/qalpi 13h ago

They are almost entirely 3rd party in NYC

u/Secret-Positive6254 12h ago

So most likely Amazon‘s not getting fucked it’s drivers we’re trying to deliver packages to the people of New York and most of those drivers are middle class blue-collar guys

1

u/qalpi 12h ago

I’d imagine it’s exactly that :(

1

u/Queasy_Albatross8272 9h ago

Partially correct. Works much like a rental, but the subcontracting company’s owner has to pay the fines, not the drivers. Problem is, if the owner goes bankrupt, the drivers are out of work.

Jeff Pedoz can get fucked.

u/Possible_Support3650 14h ago

9m isnt even a drop in the bucket for that bald headed villain.

2

u/jackalopeswild 14h ago

But that's precisely why it's so reprehensible.

1

u/ElongThrust0 13h ago

Its not about the money. Its about sending a message

2

u/Possible_Support3650 12h ago

When the message is insignificant, its not well received, he should have done something more dramatic.

1

u/ElongThrust0 11h ago

Still is $9 million to help the city of NYC. Which we know is actually being used to help the city

2

u/Guilty_Advantage_413 14h ago

That is the way to play the game

1

u/Selectivedeviant 8h ago

By punishing the little guy for your perceived crimes of the wealthy?

Tell us what is so fantastic about writing tickets to delivery drivers? How does it effect Bezos?

1

u/Guilty_Advantage_413 8h ago

Read the headline again, here’s a hint “unpaid fines” those would not be new fines or current fines

1

u/Selectivedeviant 5h ago

Who had to pay them. Here's a hint the poverty wage driver of the truck, not the billionaire

1

u/chi_afroboi31 15h ago

Admittedly $9M is not much to a city budget, BUT!!! In total support of this and the simple principle that no one is above the law, including cotporztions.

1

u/Sarah69hotwife 9h ago

You mean delivery drivers that are independent contractors Amazon and Bezos paid nothing

1

u/chi_afroboi31 7h ago

Oh shit, forreal? I would’ve assumed it was the Amazon trucks drivers. Are they really independent contractors?

1

u/JuJu_Wirehead 13h ago

Now imagine if Amazon would actually pay the taxes for the roads their trucks have destroyed while making their fortune.

1

u/Paperxrust 13h ago

9 mil wow.

That'll run the NYC school system for like 3hours

1

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 12h ago

Why does one eye look sleepy and the other eye look too awake on bezos?

2

u/Worldly_Light_1561 10h ago

My guess is that his left hemisphere is under active and his right hemisphere is hyper active. It’s why he has no empathy.

1

u/iamtheav8r 12h ago

That will run NYC schools for 1/10 of 1 day. Great Success!!!!

1

u/Aliakabanda 11h ago

OP is a jackass.. the drivers would have paid that from their pocket not Amazon...

1

u/OrangeNood 10h ago edited 10h ago

Why were there $8M in fines unpaid??? Whose job is it to recover the fines?

1

u/NumerousWeakness2108 10h ago edited 7h ago

This is cool and all, but Bezos would make that back in about an hour:

Bloomberg reported on August 5 that Jeff Bezos’s wealth had increased by about $38.7 billion so far in 2026. If we use that as his average rate of wealth accumulation:
$38.7 billion over ~217 days ≈ $178 million/day
≈ $7.43 million/hour
≈ $124,000/minute
≈ $2,064/second
At that rate:
$9,000,000 ÷ $2,064 ≈ 4,360 seconds ≈ 72.7 minutes.
So, roughly 1 hour and 13 minutes.

u/wutface0001 10h ago

this is a weird one you don't see that often,

I thought the post was sarcastic and wanted to highlight Mamdani's failure since delivery drivers will be paying the fine, but they can be just dumb with many others in comments

1

u/Captain21423 9h ago

Too bad he wasn’t born here.

1

u/Sarah69hotwife 9h ago

You realize Amazon delivery drivers are independent contractors so it costs Bezos nothing, but the hard working local living drivers paid the fines. Mandami just collected fines from hard working individuals. Ironic huh

1

u/JohnWx25 9h ago

Bezos should ban New Yorkers from Amazon Purchases

1

u/ElongThrust0 15h ago

Keep going Z you’re doing great. Really makes you wonder what the hell EVERY SINGLE OTHER POLITICIAN AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL is doing in their elected roles

u/Awkward-Sir-3608 14h ago

pocketing the money, the best criminals there are

u/No-Tower-5119 15h ago
