Amazon Delivery Drivers Unionize at DRI1 Facility in Providence, R.I.

Amazon delivery drivers at the DRI1 facility in Providence, R.I., have announced their unionization with Teamsters Local 251. Over 90 drivers marched on the boss to demand Amazon begin bargaining a collective agreement.

The DRI1 facility is Amazon's largest last-mile facility in Rhode Island and represents the latest Teamsters action to hold Amazon accountable in the state.

Teamsters Director Randy Korgan said, 'Amazon workers across the country are fed up with this company’s greed and neglect. The drivers at DRI1 are taking a brave step to become the first in Rhode Island to take on Amazon.'

The union is fighting for better pay, health care, and safety at the facility.
