BRFF2024 - Union at The Cube
See event details

A event held at The Cube on Saturday 12th October. The event starts at 14:00.


In a historic fight for better rights, employees at one of Amazon's gigantic warehouses in New York start the Amazon Labour Union (ALU), but they’re not just up against one of the tech industry’s most powerful giants with unlimited resources.
Grassroots activism lies at the heart of this involving film, which follows a group of people fighting for better working conditions at Amazon. An account of the formation of the first Amazon Labor Union, led by Chris Smalls, who quit over unsafe working conditions. The film bears witness to long, tense conversations between union organisers, which are intercut with recordings of conversations surreptitiously captured inside the facility and footage of activists´ arrests. In-fighting, personality clashes and class tensions – not to mention nasty union-busting tactics – threaten progress. The directors capture moments of landmark success, but the film makes clear that this is just the beginning of a long fight for the company’s 1.5 million employees.
This event is part of the Bristol Radical Film Festival 2024.
Festival passes available via Headfirst.
