But these businesses are beholden to Amazon, Davenport argues, and the tech giant\u2019s system prevents drivers from unionizing or getting better work conditions. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThese are the workers who bring Amazon packages to our front doors,\u201d she said. \u201cThey often show up in Amazon vans, wearing Amazon vests, carrying boxes with the Amazon logo on them. And in our view, they are working longer hours in worse conditions and for less money because of Amazon\u2019s anti-competitive behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>These drivers earn \u201csignificantly less\u201d than drivers for UPS, FedEx, and the United States Postal Service, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The complaint describes a work environment of employee surveillance, union busting, and drivers having no choice but to pee in waters bottles to meet Amazon\u2019s metrics.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThey must accept invasive surveillance that monitors their every moment and action while at work and face the possibility of immediate termination for the smallest infraction or failure to meet these unreasonable requirements,\u201d the complaint states.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On its website, Amazon advertises the DSP program as providing \u201cthe unique opportunity to create jobs in your neighborhood and lead a team that delivers gifts, textbooks, and pet food to your community.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But Davenport\u2019s office argues that the DSPs \u201care anything but independent.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cRather, Amazon keeps control of the levers that matter \u2014 setting demanding operational requirements, monitoring driver performance, controlling route allocations, and restricting DSPs from hiring one another\u2019s drivers\u2014with exploitative consequences for the drivers themselves,\u201c her office said in a release.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3599\">A vinyl and cocktail spot is coming to Kennett Square and Fishtown, bringing perhaps the neighborhood\u2019s smallest bar<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>She also alleges that Amazon monitors DSP workers with AI and cameras inside the vehicles they\u2019re driving, and that the company has intimidated and retaliated against drivers who were suspected of union organizing.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The complaint cites an incident in Queens in which Amazon allegedly sent drones to blacklist striking workers. It also cites an instance in Edison where workers were allegedly told that labor organizing could endanger DSP\u2019s partnership with Amazon, putting their jobs in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The suit claims also accuses Amazon of blacklisting workers who support unionization from a broad network of DSPs, and cites workers who were terminated after their bosses learned they supported labor organizing.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Amazon is the dominant purchaser of this delivery driver labor, and since it\u2019s about buying rather than selling, their alleged anti-competitive practice is called a monopsony, rather than a monopoly. Davenport\u2019s office said this is the first time a state has filed a monopsony complaint.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It adds to a list of court battles with the company.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In September 2023, former Attorney General Matthew Platkin joined the Federal Trade Commission and other states in suing the tech giant for maintaining a monopoly. Last October, Platkin filed one complaint over the company\u2019s treatment of pregnant people and workers with disabilities, and another over how Amazon classifies certain workers as independent contractors and therefore denying them rights and benefits.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Davenport\u2019s lawsuit Tuesday is the first lawsuit against Amazon filed under Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill\u2019s administration, but the state\u2019s top lawyer said the three other cases are ongoing.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and alleges violation of the federal Sherman Antitrust Act and New Jersey\u2019s Antitrust Act and seeks damages for DSP drivers and for Amazon to stop the alleged behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3597\">A longtime Bala Cynwyd bistro is closing, and Center City Italian restaurant veterans are moving in<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is New Jersey&#8217;s fourth open lawsuit against the tech giant and first filed under Gov.
