We’re calling for a fair + timely election bc delays by management create more space to union bust Today we sent them a letter w/ signatures from a supermajority of eligible union members Join us in demanding a fair + timely election w/ ✨no delays✨: https://t.co/KlXjFpuRlv

It's powerful to me that all of these workers are sharing their support like this! It can be scary but these folks are being brave! To me this is a sign of how well organized these folks are + how strongly they feel that their union will make Bandcamp a better place!

Sign here to support Bandcamp workers' call for a fair and timely union election:

ICYMI: Bandcamp United is us, a supermajority of workers who make @bandcamp run. We are project managers, we are engineers, we are designers, we are vinyl reps, we are support staff, we are editors and writers — all committed to protecting Bandcamp’s mission.

When a billionaire video game company bought our beloved Bandcamp last year, they said don't worry, this is different, we won't be like the usual billionaires. Well Bandcamp workers are now forming a union. We are rooting for them and hope the owners do the right thing!

There are so many parallels to our own organizing in their campaign. Our struggle is one and the same and we're beyond thrilled to see the union movement continue to spread across independent music! EVERY WORKER DESERVES A UNION

We are Bandcamp United - a union of workers across all departments at Bandcamp committed to advocating for a better Bandcamp for all, including our international colleagues and the artists, labels, and fans who use the platform as well as ourselves. 🧵

"We began working here as an extension of our own love for independent music, and believe that a site such as Bandcamp that purports to offer an ethical and fair alternative to the streaming economy should reflect its mission internally." Support our fellows @bandcampunited!
