Is there a list of demands and laws anywhere they want to impose?

There is only this: https://kickstarterunited.org/

Not a word about the standards of performance or expectations from employees who would want to be part of union. A short list of some fairly handwavy statements and a one-page website "join-join-join".

Also what kind of positions do people who pushed this occupied? How many engineers have signed this?

Are they actually technical workers or ex political studies majors, who lucked out to get a job at Kickstarter and not Starbucks.



Literally taken from your link.

> Is there a list of demands and laws anywhere they want to impose?

"02) What are the workplace improvements Kickstarter United is seeking?"

> Not a word about the standards of performance or expectations from employees who would want to be part of union.

"Kickstarter United will be made up of all employees in the bargaining unit."


> "Kickstarter United will be made up of all employees in the bargaining unit."

So no standards of training etc. for the workers? Just you know, show up for the work, punch in and punch out?

Also there is no specific requirement in the list. The only one that is not a blanket statement and has actually some case in it is "when disciplinary action is taken"

the rest is just a list of what KS is already doing and has been doing better than many companies.
