Kickstarter Senior Staffers Are Pushing Back Against Colleagues’ Union Efforts

According to an email provided to Gizmodo, however, senior staffers at the crowdfunding company are already attempting to push back against their fellow employees’ plan to make Kickstarter the first major tech firm to have a union. A Kickstarter spokesperson previously stated that the company is “aware that there are team members at Kickstarter who are interested in forming a union” and that “we look forward to hearing more about our employees’ concerns.” While we’re politically aligned on the general tenants proposed by the union, we disagree with the interpretation that Kickstarter’s culture isn’t diverse and doesn’t allow for opinions to be heard, that senior leadership doesn’t offer a space for dialogue, and that pay isn’t equitable in the company (pay information is publicly reported in the PBC report and the People team has established a formal review system).
