It's 40 trucks with 100 employees, and Amazon has tight control over required benefits for those employees (though it's unclear what happens if Amazon undergoes a downturn, surely they'd be obligated to ensure that those benefits are paid, right? Even if there's no packages for them to deliver?)

The whole thing is kinda...strange. Amazon's effectively making a delivery workforce wearing their uniforms, their logo’d delivery vans, their rules, yet absolutely not their employer.

I honestly think their strict rules including benefits is going to get a very hard look (probably during the busy holiday season) by various state labor boards, and most likely, result in them being declared the actual employer.
