To the Kickstarter team, creators, backers, and friends: Shirin Ghaffary / Recode : Recode Daily: Instagram makes a push into commerce Brendan Sinclair / GamesIndustry.biz : Kickstarter employees launch unionization effort Bijan Stephen / The Verge : Kickstarter's CEO, Perry Chen, is resigning Tweets: Parker / @pt : Jesus, is the company really doing that poorly? https://twitter.com/... Sara Nelson / @flyingwithsara : Union-busting is a tired playbook of carrot and stick. Tech mostly offers perks to distract from the fact that standing alone, workers are at the boss' mercy. Congrats on blazing a trail, Kickstarter United! #1u http://twitter.com/...
