IRISH PREMIERE

In April 2022, a group of ordinary workers made history when they successfully won their election to become the first unionised Amazon workplace in America. This feat would be extraordinary for any union, let alone the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), who did it with no prior organising experience, no institutional backing, and a total budget of $120,000 raised on GoFundMe. Heralded as the most important win for labour since the 1930s, this highly cinematic documentary captures the ALU’s historic grassroots campaign to unionise thousands of their co-workers.
