Union efforts in Big Tech just got,порнография бесплатно смотреть полнометражный well, kickstarted.
On Tuesday morning, Kickstarter's employee union effort, Kickstarter United, announced it successfully voted to form a union with the Office and Professional Employees International Union. In doing so, Kickstarter became one of the first big tech companies to successfully unionize, according to a statement provided by the OPEIU.
“The tech sector represents a new frontier for union organizing, and OPEIU is excited to represent one of the first tech groups to successfully win collective bargaining rights and to be part of the labor movement’s efforts to improve the livelihoods of tech employees everywhere,” OPEIU president Richard Lanigan said in the statement.

The final vote tally was 46 for and 37 against. The OPEIU will now work with Kickstarter United to bargain with Kickstarter management for a contract. Kickstarter United has publicly said it wants things like equal pay, more diversity in hiring, and more fairness and transparency in disciplinary measures for employees.
In a statement provided to Mashable, Kickstarter CEO Aziz Hasan offered a bit of support for the unionization effort.
"Today we learned that in a 46 to 37 vote, our staff has decided to unionize. We support and respect this decision, and we are proud of the fair and democratic process that got us here. We’ve worked hard over the last decade to build a different kind of company, one that measures its success by how well it achieves its mission: helping to bring creative projects to life. Our mission has been common ground for everyone here during this process, and it will continue to guide us as we enter this new phase together."
That's a slightly different tone than the one Kickstarter management took in the months leading up to the vote. While the company has been nominally supportive of an employee vote for unionization, leadership said in no uncertain terms that a union was not "the right tool" to fix Kickstarter's issues in a FAQ published last year.
Beyond that, Kickstarter fired two employees who spearheaded organizational efforts last year, though the company insisted in the aforementioned FAQ that it had nothing to do with the union. One of the fired employees, Clarissa Redwine, posted a Twitter thread on Tuesday morning describing the emotional effects the successful vote had on organizers.
Kickstarter is by far the highest profile tech company in the United States to unionize up to this point. Last year saw increased employee organization efforts at companies including Kickstarter, Google, and Amazon, but none of them had successfully voted to unionize. This might be the first such story of 2020, but don't be surprised if it's not the last.
