Chappell Roan is completely correct! Musicians are workers, and we deserve fair payment & dignity in our workplace. UMAW introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act with Rep. Rashida Tlaib to build a fairer music industry and increase wages for musicians. We need your help to make it happen!
"Record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection. Labels, we got you, but do you got us?"

Grateful for UMAW today. I’m regularly discouraged with how conservative people’s attitudes are towards working artist in the US, even coming from other artists at times, but I’ve felt real solidarity through UMAW. Happy May Day. ❤️🔥

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Happy May Day to my friends at UMAW. Last year was the hardest in my life after losing the support of my peers & having all my albums destroyed because I spoke up about not getting paid. The people at UMAW were some of the only ones who expressed solidarity & for that Ill be a life long member. ❤️🔥

if the anti-Spotify and aging indie rocker UMAW crowd found a way to join forces with the underground electronic music folks who are generally younger and more queer-coded then we'd really have something going on
