This important film chronicles the struggle of a group of Amazon employees to form a local union. Rendered in intimate cinema vérité, Union’s cast includes an unlikely group of warehouse workers as they launch a grassroots campaign outside the fulfillment centre in New York where they work—or used to work before being let go. Led by the charismatic Chris Smalls, the diverse group start the Amazon Labor Union, embarking on a battle with one of the world’s most powerful companies. Taking on the tech giant with its unlimited resources, and without real support from national unions, the group finds the odds stacked against them. While the film focuses on the fight of the workers to unionise, it also includes some of the corporate messaging that Amazon uses to fight against unionisation. The footage is a chilling portrait of the home-shopping monolith, which is committed to satisfying the needs of its consumers while treating its own workers as replaceable humanoids.
