Beware Amazon biz jungle: libs

NOT EVERYONE is jazzed about the idea of Amazon coming to town.

A cadre of progressive community organizations will fire off a letter to the mayor Monday and hold a rally to say they are disappointed the city is “rolling out the red carpet for Amazon.” The coalition cites the company’s treatment of workers and job sites as reasons the city and state should not offer it tax breaks. “You should focus on pushing Amazon to be a better corporate citizen and improving how it treats communities and workers,” the letter says.

Groups including the Alliance For Quality Education, Center for Popular Democracy and Make the Road New York signed the letter, which notes that the company already operates a Prime Now hub in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park and is planning a massive distribution center in Staten Island.

“We are competing to bring Amazon here because it means tens of thousands of highpaying jobs for New Yorkers,” said de Blasio spokeswoman Melissa Grace. The company’s request for proposals for its second headquarters cites 50,000 jobs with an average salary exceeding $100,000.
