Employee rights
While some former Price Club locations in California and the northeastern United States are staffed by Teamsters, the majority of Costco locations are not unionized, although there seemed to be a move in 2012 to unionize some locations in Canada. As of 2008, nearly one fifth of Costco employees are unionized. The non-union locations have revisions to their Costco Employee Agreement every three years concurrent with union contract ratifications in locations with collective bargaining agreements. The Employee Agreement sets forth such things as benefits, wages, disciplinary procedures, paid holidays, bonuses, and seniority.

Artists Pay Policy
A primary point of criticism of the Spotify platform is centered around what artists, music creators, and journalists describe as "unsustainable" compensation. Unlike physical sales or legal downloads, which pay artists a fixed priced based on units sold, Spotify pays royalties based on their "market share." Spotify determines market share for an artist by comparing the number of streams that artist has to the total number of songs streamed on the platform. Other variables such as the country in which people are streaming the artist's music, Spotify's total number of premium users, the relative premium pricing and currency values in different countries, and the artists own royalty rate can all impact an artist's compensation on the platform. Spotify has claimed that the platform distributes approximately 70% of it's total revenue to rights-holders, who will then pay artists based on their royalty agreements. Independent reporting has claimed that Spotify's payment method result in an approximate $0.003 to $0.005 pre-stream on average for indie artists.
