Hopefully the whole ‘delivery service partner’ bullshit gets busted open. It’s nothing but a cutout.
Amazon hires a 3rd party company (the DSP) to deliver packages, then pays them for this. That would be two independent companies. Issue is, Amazon dictates nearly every aspect of the DSP business. So I would love to see it argued in court that there is not actually any separation between DSP and Amazon, since Amazon policy is in charge of working conditions for the DSP employees (and crucially NOT the DSP management), Amazon is required to negotiate with the workers.
Amazon will of course just fire the DSP here for non-performance. This is probably going to end up in court. I hope the union wins.
