Jael Goldfine at The Nation reports the COVID-19 Pandemic and the turmoil it created - including an acute hardship for Musicians, also generated something else: The will to fight back against the hyper-consolidated, increasingly Tech-run Industry that appears determined to rob Musicians of a sustainable career.  Since 2020, a small but powerful Labor Movement has emerged within the industry, uniting Musicians, Industry Workers and Organizers in an attempt to get back a slice of the pie.  This movement is still in its nascent stages, but it has notched a significant number of victories.  The latest win came when around 40 Designers, Engineers, Data Analysts, Support Staff and Journalists at the Music Marketplace and Publication Bandcamp voted to form a Union, with more than 80% support.
