Amazon Driver Fred German on DRI-1 and the Fight for the Teamsters

Teamsters Local 251 organizer Fred German discusses the DRI-1 organizing campaign in Providence, Rhode Island, where 90 Amazon delivery drivers have demanded recognition and been refused, routes have risen from approximately 160 to 200-plus stops with 250 actual delivery locations on a solo route, vehicle maintenance is deferred creating safety risks, several union supporters have been unjustly terminated including a five-year employee who had been driver of the month the prior month and the terminated workers are now organizing outside the facility while the remaining unit prepares the next phase of the fight.
