Three unions at Spotify kicked off a two hour work stoppage in solidarity with their collective struggles for fairer contracts and better workplace conditions. The union at Gimlet, a major podcast publisher that was bought by Spotify last year for $230 million, is joining unions at The Ringer and Parcast—all properties owned by Spotify—in the work stoppage. The union's demands have included a contract with guaranteed raises, clear guidelines surrounding promotions, the right to profit from intellectual property they help create, a greater emphasis on diversity, and pay equity across the board. The work stoppage was streamed on Twitch for a little over an hour, with organizing members from all three groups outlining in detail their demands.
