New York Times:

Employees at the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter voted on Tuesday to unionize, the first well-known technology company to take the step toward being represented by organized labor.

And:

Kickstarter’s employees will be affiliated with the Office and Professional Employees International Union and begin negotiating a contract with management over equal pay and inclusive hiring practices.

And:

Its employees’ unionization drive began in earnest last year, after Kickstarter found itself embroiled in a debate over whether to cancel a fund-raising effort on its site for a comic book that included images of people punching Nazis. Workers pushed the company to allow the project to continue, which it did. The episode sparked discussions among employees about formalizing their voice in the workplace.

Is this a one-off? Or a crack in the foundation, a movement that will see unionization spread to other tech companies?

Kickstarter is relatively small, 145 employees, but has a big, recognizable brand. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, both for Kickstarter’s financial stability, and for the impact it has on other unionization efforts.
