Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles. Email Kickstarter's CEO and tell him this is illegal and unacceptable! e@kickstarter.com

Ready to strike! We're willing to strike starting October 2nd if management won't make a deal to protect our existing four-day, 32-hour workweek and establish a livable minimum salary. Please help us avoid a strike by signing our open letter linked below. [then there's a fist emoji and the Kickstarter United logo in the bottom-right corner]
Why a 4-day work week? The bargaining unit members of Kickstarter United’s top priority in our next contract is securing a permanent 4-day workweek for all employees. 1. Health & wellness: The 4DWW allows us the opportunity to rest, reset, and refresh, reducing the likelihood of stress-related health impacts. 2. Well-roundedness: It allows us to balance work with family time, friendship, hobbies, and creativity, so that we can be more than just our job title. 3. Better employees: With one less day a week at our disposal, we develop creative solutions to work more efficiently to hit our goals and deliver business value.
