Our Code for America friends are asking for support! Please sign their petition to their executive team urging them to reach a fair contract: actionnetwork.org/letters/fair...

After returning from our historic strike and getting our bearings back at work again, our bargaining unit voted to ratify our second contract on December 5th, 2025

This is starting now!

While we’re working towards the end of the year, the folks who brought you the Twitch streams during our strike were going to get together and play some one-shot encounters tomorrow at 2 pm ET. Join us on Twitch twitch.tv/kickstarteru...

Shout out to another sibling union in @opeiulocal153.bsky.social: @backmakersunited.bsky.social are the union of workers at Back Market, and they just got voluntary recognition www.opeiulocal153.org/news/back-ma...

Philly is turning OUT today! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽🔥 Starbucks hasn't given us a proposal in almost a YEAR. They know we need fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Starbucks can’t ignore us any longer. And this is just the beginning! #NoContractNoCoffee

Workers with @kickstarterunited.org end their six-week strike victorious, enshrining 4-day work weeks and salary floors while also adding protections against gen AI replacing human labor.

We had the idea to celebrate the project of our contract ending with fireworks, a lot like the confetti that plays when your own Kickstarter project finishes funding kickstarterunited.org

Solidarity forever! Congratulations to @kickstarterunited.org / @opeiulocal153.bsky.social on winning a 42 day strike that protects and codifies their four-day workweek! When we fight, we win.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

This is starting right...meow 😺

The @nytguildtech.bsky.social have been steadfast allies of ours throughout this whole thing and instrumental to showing us how to strike!

Collective action is not easy, but it brings results. Fight the fight, show up for each other - we can keep pushing for better. ✊💪

One year ago we took a step into the unknown as a unit. We walked out on a ULP strike, fighting for just cause, fair wages, and remote worker protections. A supermajority of our unit participated in this historic action, and it worked - we won our first contract.

The mayor elect of NYC has supported @kickstarterunited.org’s contract campaign and that’s pretty fucking cool

Starting now!

Live now on Twitch!

@kickstarterunited.org rallied on Thursday outside the offices of Littler Mendelson, America’s largest union-busting firm. They launched their fourth week on strike defending a 4-day, 32-hour workweek and fighting to raise the wages for the lowest-paid workers. working-mass.com/2025/10/25/k...

Had so much fun being a weird old peasant with some of the fine folks of @kickstarterunited.org – donate to the KSRU strike fund and enjoy the medieval hijinks!

Yesterday, @kickstarterunited.org marked three weeks on strike. AWU member Francis Blesso joined our union family to rally in Boston and show our union’s unwavering solidarity with our fellow tech workers as they fight for the strong second contract they deserve! #1u

EXTREMELY glad I could show up for @kickstarterunited.org’s Boston rally today. History in the making, folks.

@kickstarter.com is such a cool business as it helps creators fulfill their dreams. I can't imagine the TTRPG scene without them Like every business, its success is built on the backs of its workforce - @kickstarterunited.org. These people keep the company running, and they need our support.

Boston supporters, last chance - join us tomorrow at 12 PM for our very first Boston rally!

Kickstarter staff have been on strike for 21 days, in a bid to protect their working week and win a minimum salary. These are small, reasonable asks for an outstanding team that have helped to bring countless new pieces of independent art into the world. How you can support: kickstarterunited.org
