Union

Despite Amazon’s best union-busting efforts, in 2022, the eight thousand workers at its JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island joined up, after a three-year struggle intimately recorded by Brett Story and Stephen Maing. Focusing on Chris Smalls, the union’s founder, who was fired by Amazon for organizing, the film reveals the way Amazon sought to break the strike by means of mandatory “non-union training sessions.” Although JFK8 was eventually unionized, Amazon refused to bargain with it. Winner of Sundance’s Special Jury Award for the Art of Change.
