  8. CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

    We wouldn't have the weekend, the 8 hour work day, the 40 hour work week, paid family/medical leave, or today off if labor unions hadn't fought for those rights and won. Celebrate the work unions do by joining one, volunteering at a labor event today, or taking a solidarity school training!

  9. "More than 200 staffers at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind the encyclopedia Wikipedia, have voted 158-14 to join the Communications Workers of America labor union. The US National Labor Relations Board counted ballots on Thursday.

    Three Wikimedia employees tell WIRED they will now have a mechanism to challenge management as the organization faces growing competition from AI chatbots and a drop in volunteer editors. The 25-year-old, San Francisco-based foundation employs nearly 700 people across 39 countries, most of them working remotely. The contingent joining the union includes employees in functions such as software engineering, finance, and communications.

    Lauren de Lench, who has been a lead technical program manager at the Wikimedia Foundation since 2021, says she voted to unionize because she had seen too many colleagues decline to speak up during internal meetings out of fear of retaliation for raising issues or proposing far-out ideas."

  14. "Littler Mendelson is the largest management-side employment and labor law firm on earth, more than 1,500 lawyers across dozens of offices. It is also, in the words of the encyclopedia the Foundation itself hosts, “widely described as a union busting firm.”

    That sentence sits on Wikipedia right now, written and sourced by volunteers, served from Wikimedia’s machines, funded by Wikimedia’s donors. And here is the strangeness of this story in a single fact: the Foundation never needed an opposition-research file on its new counsel, because its unpaid workforce wrote one years ago.

    Most companies that hire Littler have employees who learn labor law as it happens to them. The Wikimedia Foundation’s extended workforce includes the people who wrote the English-language internet’s reference material on union busting. The article on Littler Mendelson. The articles on captive-audience meetings and card check. The articles on the Starbucks and Amazon campaigns.

    The Foundation has chosen to run the standard playbook against the one community on earth guaranteed to recognize every play, footnote it, and publish the annotated version under a free license."

  17. So typical of an American NGO...

    "The Wikimedia Foundation waited until the days following its largest worldwide conference to issue a statement saying it would not voluntarily recognize a union of its workers.

    Last week, Wiki Workers United, which is organized through the Communication Workers Union and represents U.S. workers at the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, requested voluntary recognition of their union. Wiki Workers United said that it had secured a “supermajority of union-eligible workers who have signed union authorization cards.” A group of more than 1,100 Wikipedia editors have also signed a letter of support for the union.

    On Monday, just days after the massive Wikimania Conference concluded in Paris, the Wikimedia Foundation announced it would not voluntarily recognize the union and said the union would have to conduct a vote as overseen by the National Labor Relations Board.

    “The Foundation’s responsibility is to ensure that they can make their own choice freely,” the foundation wrote in the statement. “So that every eligible employee has an equal voice, we believe a secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board is the appropriate path forward.”
    (...)
    The Wikimedia Foundation’s statement and its frequently asked questions section is full of very carefully-worded language that is common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization. For example, the FAQ includes a long section about the benefits that Wikimedia Foundation already offers its staff, and the statement suggests that there is a “wide range of views on unionization” among employees."

  20. The Copenhagen Post | Media: VW considers cutting up to 100,000 jobs by Ritzau

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Volkswagen is weighing a major workforce reduction that could double its March plan, aiming to cut as many as 100,000 jobs and shut down four German factories while slashing investment by roughly 15 % over the next five years. The proposed cuts are being driven by soaring production costs, U.S. tariffs and fierce competition in the electric‑vehicle market, and would build on the company’s earlier pledge to eliminate 50,000 positions by 2030.
