More Perfect Union is a progressive non-profit news media organization founded in February 2021 by Faiz Shakir. The outlet, named after a phrase in the U.S. Constitution, specializes in video reporting and opinion coverage about the American labor movement, economic policy, and corporate accountability. More Perfect Union says its aim is to help "working people to be seen and heard in media coverage," and most of its videos prominently feature everyday workers. In August 2021, More Perfect Union won the Sidney Award for outstanding investigative journalism. Its coverage has also included video interviews or essays by prominent U.S. political figures, including former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Jon Tester, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Jamaal Bowman, and FTC chair Lina Khan.

On February 28, 2021, President Joe Biden released a video statement voicing support for the Amazon workers in Bessemer, warning that "there should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda." The Washington Post reported, "In early February, staffers at a new media advocacy outlet called More Perfect Union told White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain in a phone call that Biden should speak out on behalf of the Amazon union drive. The group again urged Biden to do so last week."

Workers at all three companies described being assigned 12- or 16-hour work shifts for 6 or 7 days in a row, sometimes for weeks on end without a day off. In August 2021, More Perfect Union won the Sidney Award for its coverage of the Frito-Lay strike. "MPU was the first national outlet to cover the strike," the Sidney Hillman Foundation wrote in awarding the prize. "They published dispatches from the ground over a three-week period which collectively generated over 4 million views and spurred follow-on coverage by outlets such as
