10 Months After Voting to Unionize, DistroKid Employees Say Management Needs to Return to the Bargaining Table
The DistroKid Union wants the company to return to the bargaining table 10 months after voting to unionize and following a purge of 37 employees.
Company management and union officials even sat for their first collective bargaining session in July, but talks have been slow due to a lack of availability to meet, says Bores. “We finally got something on the calendar with them for October, when the company’s attorney called me and said they’re going to fire half the unit,” says Bores, referring to the 37 employees who were initially placed on “administrative leave” before being terminated. Without an enforcement option from the federal government, Bores says there is little his union can do to force DistroKid back to the bargaining table aside from applying public pressure campaigns.
