Hi all, I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. I mentioned this deal to a friend and they flagged up that Sticker Mule as a company has been involved in a lot of controversy. There are a lot of points online, but from what I could find, here is a TLDR:
- There have been instances where Sticker Mule has been accused of sabotaging t-shirt designs.(twitter.com/Bee…552)
- Sticker Mule has previously been sued by former employees for failing to pay employees appropriately for overtime.
- Anthony Constantino, the CEO of Sticker Mule, has donated to anti-LGBTQ+ causes.
- Constantino has made significant donations to Donald Trump's elections campaigns, and has previously posted on social media in support of Trump and vaccine scepticism.
With the points above, I've tried to focus on areas that are reasonably factual. I know for some people, the points above won't matter, and that's OK - it's a good deal, and everyone's opinion is respected on HUKD .
If any of the points above do touch on something you care about, and you are concerned about supporting organisations whose values align with your own, then I would suggest looking at alternatives to Sticker Mule.
I hope this has enlightened some people (like myself) who weren't aware of this beforehand. I will try and find alternatives to Sticker Mule, and post these later. I would also welcome anyone who works for Sticker Mule to reply directly to this thread to let the HUKD community know about what the company does to respect LGBTQ+ values and promote an inclusive and equitable workspace.
