On October 21, DistroKid placed 37 employees, roughly 25% of its staff, on administrative leave, pending layoffs. These workers were all members of the DistroKid union, which had won its election in April with strong numbers. The affected employees make up 47% of the union, including 5 of the 7 bargaining committee members. They were given notice of this 1 hour before the union bargaining committee was set to resume negotiations with DistroKid over their first contract.
