纽约市亚马逊合作方裁掉约200名电动自行车配送员 市议会正审议配送保护法
11月11日晚，亚马逊曼哈顿分包商凯森管理解决方案公司（Kaizen Management Solutions）约200名电动自行车配送员接到通知，因亚马逊终止合作合同，相关岗位将于11月18日取消，员工福利延续至明年1月31日。据 Streetsblog 纽约版11月12日报道，涉事员工负责曼哈顿同日达配送，骑电动货运自行车送货，办公点位于德兰西街。亚马逊向该媒体证实已终止与凯森的合同，理由是安全问题。此次裁员正值纽约市议会审议《配送保护法》之际，该法案要求亚马逊直接雇用配送员工。劳工权益人士指出，突然裁员可能违反纽约州《工人调整与再培训通知法》，该法要求50人以上雇主在裁减25人以上时提前90天书面通知或提供遣散费。约200名员工突然失业引发关注，市议会对相关法案的审议仍在进行中，裁员事件为辩论增添了新的砝码。
Amazon Partner Lays Off About 200 E-Bike Delivery Workers in New York City as Council Weighs Delivery Protection Act
On the night of November 11, about 200 e-bike delivery workers for Kaizen Management Solutions, an Amazon subcontractor in Manhattan, were notified that because Amazon terminated its contract with the company, their jobs will end on November 18, with benefits continuing through January 31. According to a November 12 Streetsblog New York report, the workers handle Amazon's same-day deliveries in Manhattan, riding electric cargo bikes and working out of a site on Delancey Street. Amazon confirmed to the outlet that it had terminated the Kaizen contract, citing safety issues.
The layoffs come as the New York City Council weighs a Delivery Protection Act that would require Amazon to employ delivery workers directly. Labor advocates noted the sudden layoffs may violate New York's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires employers with 50 or more workers to give 90 days' written notice or severance when cutting 25 or more jobs. The sudden loss of about 200 jobs has drawn attention, the council's deliberations on the bill are ongoing, and the layoff has added new weight to the debate.
