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.
