In a major milestone, the Secretly Group Union has affirmed and ratified a contract with its employer, one of the most prominent indie music companies. The move makes them one of the first independent record-label staffs to organize.
anonymously, explained, “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. 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.
For its part, Secretly Group agreed to voluntarily recognize the union not long after the initial announcement, though it still took over a year for negotiations to conclude and for the contract to be ratified.
On Twitter, Dead Oceans shared a message saying, “This agreement marks a new chapter in Secretly’s ongoing commitment to our staff, to our workplace and to the core values we bring to artist and label partners every day. A note of heartfelt thanks is in order: to everyone involved in reaching today’s agreement, to the depth of trust and respect that colleagues placed in one another and in this process and to the effort and work put in to reach this milestone.
