For our audience who may not be familiar with this contracting system, could you speak about what it is and kind of take us a little further into it and how it relates to the e-commerce economy? Because I suspect Amazon isn't the only one doing this.

Frank LicariGUEST
And that's sort of what came out of the film, which, you know, to Andrew's point, why we decided to put in the actual history of the American worker in there, because what's happening is this model is now becoming so popular and it's really ruining the future of American workers.

Frank LicariGUEST
And basically the DSP program, the delivery service partner, when you see those blue vans show up at your house, they're not actually on paper employed by Amazon.

Frank LicariGUEST
Which would seem okay, no big deal, if it wasn't for the fact that Amazon had their imprint and finger on the entire operation.

Frank LicariGUEST
So although you are a third-party contractor, Amazon makes sure that you're taking the lease of the vans from them, that you are getting their insurance, delivering only their packages.

Could you just talk a little bit about the legislation, how it might be able to improve this last mile delivery system, at least here in the five boroughs of New York City? And the threats Amazon is making to what, close down these companies here in New York City if the legislation does pass city council?
October 20, 2026: Andrew Tilson, Frank Licari, Yael Bridge and Patricia Van Heerden of the Workers Unite! Film Festival
