JUSTICE AT SPOTIFY - The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers brings our demands to to Spotify on this day.  

Join us for a socially distanced action on March 15th at 1pm  #JUSTICEATSPOTIFY

We will meet in Yonge-Dundas Square and gather in solidarity with musicians around the world that are demonstrating in support of our demands. This is the first time music workers have organized internationally to make demands of a global streaming corporation!

Tell your friends, bring your instruments, signs and voices, masks, and stay tuned for more updates from us!

Our Demands:

Pay us at least one cent per stream

Adopt a user-centric payment model

Make all closed-door contracts public

Reveal existing payola, then end it altogether

Credit all labor in recordings

End legal battles intended to further impoverish artists

For too long we have seen Spotify profit off our labor without transparency, accountability or reasonable compensation. See you on the 15th and let’s create an industry that is just and equitable!

At the action:

DO make noise. We are musicians after all.

DO Sing songs

DO wear a mask, and socially distance.

DO bring signs.

DO document the action. Pictures and video are great!

DO know your rights.

DON’T endanger anyone.

DON’T block traffic.

DON’T engage in violent behavior.

*Note: This event was originally planned to be outside Spotify's Toronto office. However, to the best of our knowledge, they have vacated their offices, and left no trace, so for increased visibility we have moved this demonstration of solidarity to Yonge-Dundas Square.
