#wikiworkers — Public Fediverse posts

The post is full of classic union-busting tactics. A supermajority of US employees has voted (by signing authorization cards), and this is being blocked not by other staff, but purely by WMF management.

"As stated, the decision to unionize belongs to staff. ". Staff has already spoken, and they want, overwhelmingly, to unionize. Dragging out this process further is purely in bad faith, because the Wikimedia Foundation C-suite does not want a union.

"One of the core goals of Wiki Workers United is to improve the Wikimedia Foundation's transparency and accountability toward the Wikimedia movement community.

This issue has been a long-standing concern for many workers at the Wikimedia Foundation, and a key reason for forming this union."
