Union Urges Music Venues and Festivals to Stop Cutting Into Artists’ Merchandise Sales
A lot is expected from musicians, but nobody wants to pay for it. That includes music venues and festivals. The Union of Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW), known for their steadfast campaigns against Spotify, are pushing venues and music festivals to stop taking percentages of musicians’ merchandise sales.

They typically foot the bill for the vast majority of the costs associated with their merch, including ...
