Bandcamp United

We wanted to share some demographics around these layoffs so our supporters are able to follow along. These numbers include the whole staff at Bandcamp (including non-union eligible workers), but are important to keep in mind as we continue to negotiate severance with Epic Games.

A slide that reads "Percentage of Black Employees at Bandcamp". Below this text, are two graphs, one that reads "Before: 16%, 19/119" and another that reads "After: 7%, 4/60".
When 59 of Bandcamp’s 119 employees were laid off, Black employees were disproportionately impacted. Only 4 of Bandcamp's 19 Black employees received job offers after the sale to Songtradr. As a result, the number of Black employees at Bandcamp was reduced by 79% overnight. As we continue severance negotiations with Epic Games, we think it's important for this disparity to be publicized and taken into consideration.
