The Amazon Labor Union made history in 2022 by becoming the first group to successfully unionize an Amazon warehouse in the U.S. Two and a half years later, the company has refused to recognize the union and bargain a contract. To pressure the company to start negotiating, the Amazon Labor Union, now affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, launches a nationwide strike during peak holiday shopping season. From the filmmakers of the Award-winning film Union, Local One takes us into the first days of the strike at two Amazon warehouses in New York City, this time in solidarity with hundreds more workers across the country.
