ALT "On Thursday, Epic Games announced that Songtradr is acquiring Bandcamp. Thanks everyone for your support and solidarity as we go through this transition."
ALT "We’re still preparing for our scheduled negotiations on 10/2 and 10/3 with Epic Games and have submitted a formal request to management for more information about the sale."
ALT "Bandcamp United is looking forward to bargaining with Songtradr in the near future regarding wages, working conditions, and benefits. It’s our hope that Songtradr honors our existing progress (including Union Security and preserving our artists first mission in our Collective Bargaining Agreement) that we’ve already made at the bargaining table."
ALT a presentation slide that reads: "INSTRUCTIONS. We’re calling on our supporters to email Bandcamp’s leadership and call for no more union busting. We expect leadership may filter out certain words, so feel free to get creative. We encourage you to keep it positive and remind Ethan that our union will be good for Bandcamp. When you’re done, grab a screenshot of your email and tag us on social media @BandcampUnited."
ALT a presentation slide that reads: "EXAMPLE EMAIL. To: [email protected] Dear Ethan, I am writing to ask that Bandcamp and Epic leadership uphold workers’ right to form an inclusive union and stop all union-busting. Bandcamp has been a lifeline for artists and labels in the past couple of years, and I am disappointed to see a platform dedicated to fairness infringe on workers’ rights to form a union. All workers deserve a seat at the table when deciding their working conditions."
