“Bandcamp’s entire union bargaining team, the eight union members democratically elected by their peers to negotiate their first union contract, were laid off when Epic Games sold Bandcamp to music licensing company Songtradr on Monday.”
Eight elected bargainers, eight layoffs. Songtradr says it had no union membership information, yet its CEO Paul Wiltshire was set to meet the bargaining team the week before. The company’s answer is that the offers had already gone out by then. Epic sold the business, Songtradr picked the staff, and the union contract died before anyone had to sign it.
