New Jersey Sues Amazon in First State Monopsony Case Over Driver Wages

New Jersey AG Jennifer Davenport filed a federal antitrust suit against Amazon on August 4, 2026 — the first U.S. state monopsony complaint. Monopsony means a single buyer dominates a labor market. The filing alleges Amazon, as the sole purchaser of Delivery Service Partner services, suppresses driver wages below USPS, UPS, and FedEx levels and blocks unionizing. Amazon denies the claims, calling DSPs independent operators.
