Amazon s third-party sellers have long had a love-hate relationship with the ecommerce giant. Some have hit their breaking point.
On Tuesday, a coalition of more than 20 independent business groups representing main street businesses including booksellers, office supplies sellers, and hardware stores kicked off a joint effort aimed at breaking up Amazon. The group known as Small Business Rising is pushing lawmakers to enact stricter antitrust laws and enforcement measures, as first reported reported by
The Wall Street Journal.
Specifically, the merchant coalition wants the ecommerce giant to separate its retail business from its marketplace of third-party sellers, says Stacy Mitchell, the co-director of the Institute for Local Reliance, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., that advocates for sustainable community development and key organizer behind Small Business Rising. She adds that the coalition hopes to achieve this by creating opportunities

A coalition of independent businesses launched Tuesday with the goal of urging federal policy reform to rein in the market power of top tech companies.
The coalition, Small Business Rising, specifically takes aim at Amazon accusing the e-commerce giant of anti-competitive tactics and harming small firms nationwide.
“Concentrated market power is the single biggest threat facing independent businesses,” Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, said in a statement. “Every day, we lose more small businesses because of the abusive and anti-competitive tactics of Amazon and other monopolies. This campaign gives America’s entrepreneurs a platform to stand up and call on policymakers to check monopoly power and reinvigorate the antitrust laws.”
