Amazon cuts more than 1,200 delivery contract jobs, as it severs ties with several small delivery firms across the U.S.

"We have ended relationships with some partners and Amazon is working closely with all impacted drivers to ensure they find opportunities to deliver Amazon packages with other local Delivery Service Partners with little to no disruption to pay," the spokesperson added.

While Amazon continues to cull poor-performing delivery partners, the program has grown quickly since it launched two years ago. There are now more than 1,300 DSPs across five countries that have added 85,000 jobs and delivered more than 1.8 billion packages worldwide, Amazon But the ease with which Amazon can cut contracts with DSPs shows that the program isn't devoid of risks for the entrepreneurs who choose to launch their own delivery service.

For others, Amazon's decision to end a contract can seem abrupt, including at IntelliQuick Delivery Inc., an Arizona-based delivery contractor. IQDI informed employees on July 1 that it had lost its contract with Amazon.

The monopoly grows. Funny liberals are shutting down the economy over a virus and then blaming Trump. Who’s benefiting from the liberal shut down? Big corporations. Wake up people. Liberals only say they care their actions say something different! Pay attention.

Ah, Capitalism.

Hurry, hurry, buy more Amazon stocks, so they can cut more American jobs. Thank you FED, BlackRock, Trump, GOP and the RICH.

Still blaming China for taking American jobs?
