We are hosting a virtual rally this Friday, 2/27 at 12pm ET on Zoom. Join us to hear from our speakers and support the re-instatement of unit members who Kickstarter retaliated against, 3 months after our historic 42-day remote strike won our latest contract http://bit.ly/ksrurally

KSRU members are facing retaliation for legally-protected activity after a historic 42 day long strike in October/November of last year.

On February 11, 2026, Kickstarter targeted union members who took an active role in the strike, laying off four people and moving one out of the bargaining unit.

Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE
After returning from our historic strike and getting our bearings back at work again, our bargaining unit voted to ratify our second contract on December 5th, 2025
WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
