Staffers at Indie Label Secretly Group Launches Union to ‘Guarantee a Better Music Industry’

In a statement provided to Variety by a rep, the company’s management said: “The Secretly managing partners and management woke up to the news that some employees of the Secretly affiliates have taken steps to unionize and are seeking union recognition in the U.S. We are open to this discussion, as we share the desire to reach an outcome that continues to evolve Secretly as a progressive voice and a diverse, ethical and equitable company and workplace.

“We’ve all had friends say, ‘Oh, you’re so lucky. You get to work with music, you get a free ticket to a show or free drinks,’ but drinks and shows and music don’t pay our rent, and don’t provide us with the support that we need,” a member of the organizing committee, who requested anonymity, told Rolling Stone. “We obviously have a real passion for what we do. We love our roster, and we’re really proud of all the music we put out, and we’re proud of being able to work on it.

“There was a lot of pressure, and a lot of uncertainty about how to deal with the added workload,” one said. “I spend all of my time working. I work massive amounts of unpaid overtime because it is preferable to the petty micromanagement I’ll experience if I can’t complete my large amount of tasks.”
