Through intimate observation, UNION chronicles the extraordinary efforts of an unlikely group of warehouse workers as they launch a grassroots labor-organizing campaign at an Amazon fulfillment center in Staten Island. Led by the charismatic but underestimated Chris Smalls, the diverse band of workers start the Amazon Labor Union and embark on an extraordinary uphill battle against one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world, while simultaneously navigating divisions within their own ranks. Filmmakers Brett Story and Stephen Maing document the struggle from up close, offering a gripping human drama about the fight for power and dignity in today’s globalized economic landscape.
