  1. This is extraordinary: #SafeguardGlobal, which technically employs #WikimediaFoundation employees in the UK on behalf of #WMF, has requested, *after* the 20-day negotiation period, to exclude WMF UK managers from the bargaining unit.

    In other words, #SG on behalf of #WMF *managers*, wants to exclude WMF UK *managers* from being protected by #WikiWorkersUnitedUK. The justification is to lower from UK to US standards [1].

    #WWUUK is standing firm :) [1].

  6. If you agree with that #WikimediaFoundation worker, and you haven't yet signed the #WWU support statement, then consider signing it [1]. AFAIK, there has still been no apology by the #WMF executive for the abrupt May 2026 lay-offs of #WMF staff [2]. It's probably fair to summarise WMF executive statements about the lay-offs in this worker's words: "we (WMF) consider the abrupt lay-offs as the appropriate use of management tools".

  11. #WikimediaFoundation, which declares its respect for #WMF staff #unionisation rights, is being dragged kicking and screaming, even with a mediator involved, into recognising #WikiWorkersUnited #WWU UK:

    * 24 June 2026 - #WWUUK requests voluntary recognition [1]
    * 7 July 2026 - WMF refuses recognition; chooses slowest option [2]
    * 6 Aug 2026 - WMF drags out mediation; @wwu UK initiates statutory recognition [3]

  16. #Metaphors for the #WikimediaFoundation hiring of #UnionBusting firm #LittlerMendelson against #WikiWorkersUnited [1] are flowing thick and fast [2].

    "You say, 'I don't view unionization at WMF as an adversarial process... why would I want otherwise?', ... It is rather like deploying an anti-tank missile launcher pointed at protesters and then claiming that it is merely being used to transport people to the protest grounds."

  21. Ah, the Wikimedia Foundation, that bastion of free knowledge, now wants to freely ignore #unions 🚫🤖. They've traded in their "all-for-one" ethos for a shiny new anti-union law firm 🤝🔨. Maybe they can update their robot policy to include "robots work better without pesky unions" 🤖➡️👋.

  26. Shame on the #WikimediaFoundation. WMF CEO Bernadette Meehan promised to recognize the union. Surprise surprise, her words were all lies.

    It's time to hold their feet to the fire until they cave. Please follow @wwu for updates on the campaign.
