Union

"Union" is not just a film; it’s a powerful testament to the transformative potential of collective action, marking a pivotal moment in labor history. On April 1, 2022, a group of ordinary Amazon workers defied the odds, successfully unionizing the first Amazon workplace in America—an achievement many deemed impossible. With a modest budget of only $120,000 raised through GoFundMe, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) showcased what grassroots organizing can accomplish against a corporate giant.

The documentary captures the ALU's relentless fight, highlighting how they mobilized thousands of co-workers to stand together for their rights in an era where legal protections for workers are diminishing. This movement is heralded as the most significant labor victory since the 1930s, illustrating the urgent need for solidarity among workers in the face of adversity. The film serves as a rallying cry for communities and policymakers alike, emphasizing the critical importance of supporting labor rights and the dignity of the working-class. "Union" not only chronicles this historic campaign but also inspires a broader conversation about the future of work and the necessity for equitable policies that uplift all workers.
