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.
