Posted by Secretly Group employees have begun the process of forming their own union.
The new move covers workers at a number of keys labels, including Secretly Canadian, Dead Oceans, and Jagjaguwar.
Alongside this, the Secretly Group also covers Secretly Distribution, Secretly Publishing, Numero Group, and Ghostly International.
Employees aim to form a union, and the move has gained widespread support on the ground.
A statement from the organisers has been placed online, outlining their concerns and how unionising can help tackle them.
It reads: “Our enthusiasm for the culture in which we work can lead to exploitation in ways endemic to the creative industries: poor wages, inadequate benefits, lack of work/life boundaries, gatekeeping that obstructs professional development, and an absence of initiatives that address systemic race and gender inequality.”
Rolling Stone has published an in-depth look at the move, with the title speaking to several employees – find it HERE.
