The BBC reports that Kickstarter has been accused of “union-busting” after firing three employees:
Taylor Moore, the company’s head of comedy and podcasts, tweeted that he and another employee were fired on Thursday, while tech and design lead Clarissa Redwine was fired last week. All three were heavily involved in the formation of a Kickstarter union this year, Mr Moore added.
Kickstarter confirmed the employees were fired, but denied that it was because of their union activity.
Mr Moore tweeted that he had worked at the company for six years. He said that when Kickstarter fired him they “offered me no real reasons, but one month’s severance for signing an NDA” — a non-disclosure agreement. “I will not be signing it… The union busting campaign that Kickstarter management is engaging in is illegal and wrong,” he added.
