    If the drivers are contractors, wouldn’t this level of surveillance and dictating how they perform their job be a violation of labor law? I thought this level of micro management would indicate that the drivers are employees not contractors.

      Correct! Amazon and other delivery companies are absolutely violating labor laws and they’re getting away with it because of regulatory capture.

        I thought I just saw the other day that a judge ruled they were employees, not contractors. Let me look…

        Okay, it’s a little more complex than that - looks like it was one of their “delivery partners” who decided to unionize, and the NRLB ruled Amazon is a joint employer with the delivery partner company. lol Gift WaPo article for it. I couldn’t find other sources.
