Warehouse workers at punk rock merch company King's Road (owned by Sony Music subsidiary The Orchard) fighting to save our jobs and negotiate a contract
A Punk Mom Bench?!? This morning I got the opportunity to meet @krm-union.bsky.social steward @lifeofmonotony.com at a bench that is very important to him. Remembering one’s roots is important. Live your values. Stay Punk! Are benches punk?
Great news! DKM stands in solidarity with us by releasing a shirt design to benefit our union members. They have made it the only item available for sale in their merch store with our company. We're so excited with how their team has shown up for us- this is a group demonstrating their principles.

Thank you to @citycasttwincities.bsky.social for highlighting our fight.

In our first interview clip Esme tells us about her history as a fan of Alkaline Trio. Our goal is to build solidarity with our favorite artists carried in the warehouse.

We Unionized back in May. At our first scheduled bargaining session, we were threatened with the entire warehouse being shut down. That's textbook unionbusting from KRM and Sony Music Entertainment. Read our full statement and sign up for updates here: linktr.ee/krmunion
