The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers has organised global protests against
Spotify.
The streaming giant came under
increased pressure during 2020, with high profile insight into its royalties exposing what many deemed to be unfair methods of paying musicians.
With the UK parliament organising a committee into the process, Spotify is coming under pressure on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers organised a series of global protests yesterday (March 16th) at Spotify offices around the world, calling for increased transparency in their business methods.
The union wants to obtain a user-centric payment model, raising the price of a single stream to one cent, alongside an end to lawsuits filed against musicians.
