Amazon Workers’ 2024 Holiday Strike Captured in New Short Film
The filmmakers behind the Oscars shortlisted doc 'Union' have released a new short about last year's holiday season strike by Amazon workers.
Local One, directed by Stephen Maing and Brett Story, is a 10-minute look at the action, which the ALU and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters launched last December. While workers voted to form the ALU in 2022 and soon after received recognition from the National Labor Relations Board, Amazon has yet to begin negotiating a contract with them — a key issue in last year’s strike, along with demands for better pay, benefits, and working conditions. Union — which was one of Rolling Stone ’s best documentaries of 2024 — received wide acclaim after it premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize for the Art of Change.
