In July of 2025 we began bargaining with the management at Kickstarter for our second union contract (our first was won in 2022). From the outset we have been clear with management that our top priorities for this contract are codifying the 4-day, 32-hour work week as the standard, raising the minimum salary for all members of the bargaining unit, and establishing protections against AI tools replacing workers. While we are proud of the progress we have made in some areas, management remains intransigent the issues of the 4-day work week and minimum salaries.
With management refusing to move on the 4-day week and fair pay, we need you to stand with us more than ever. Here’s how you can take action today:
On Labor Day we launched our Solidarity fund on GoFundMe. If management forces a strike, this GoFundMe will help our most vulnerable workers weather the hardship of pay-stoppage.
If we reach an agreement without striking, we will refund any donation on request and roll the remaining funds into a sympathetic solidarity and/or hardship fund to help our fellow workers
We are asking you to sign this petition to support our fight to codify our 4-day work week and a livable minimum salary for all members of our bargaining unit. Please read our full petition text and sign your name below.
On September 5th, we held a public virtual rally to support our fight for a fair contract.
We featured unionized tech workers who’ve gone on strike, elected representatives who support a 32-hour week, and Kickstarter United members discussing our our demands and our union.
