This probably has to do with California’s new law against using contractors. I would be interested to know what impact the new law has had on tax revenues. (Its purpose was to increase income tax revenues. A second purpose was to force “employers” to offer mandated benefits. The unintended outcome will be to make lots of people unemployed and increase the expenses of the citizens.)
Now we will see the human workers contribution to a corporate business trajectory....gonna be very hard to manage these folks...lawsuits here we come...i think it might be better to have delivery hubs...located adjacent to grocery stores....you go to ggt fresh self chosen groceries and pick up your online/mail ordered stuff same time...less traffic with scooting delivery trucks all over duh place.
Amazon has been building to this for a while. They get tired of having their business effected by other companies’ labor disputes. Soon it will be more than just the last mile.
