YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
The new documentary film Union, premiering this week, follows Amazon workers at the JFK8 fulfillment center on Staten Island as they formed the first-ever U.S. Amazon union in 2022. Co-directed by Stephen Maing and Brett Story, the film follows “the invisible working class” as they face an uphill battle against the notoriously anti-labor corporation, says Maing, who joins Democracy Now! to discuss the film. We also speak with Amazon Labor Union-IBT Local 1’s president, Connor Spence, who shares his experience organizing the “most surveilled workforce anywhere” and explains what’s next as the union moves to organize Amazon on a national scale with the Teamsters.
