Union employees at Parcast, the podcast studio at Spotify Technology SA that specializes in true-crime programming, are calling on management to provide more clarity around an annual fund intended to promote diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
In a letter to management Thursday, the employees said Spotify agreed in an April 2022 union contract to give the group’s DEIA committee $100,000 annually to “guide, assist and monitor the progress of diversity, parity, and inclusion with regard to recruitment, selection, retention, mentorship, advancement and editorial coverage.”
