MezhaWikimedia staff in the US have formed a trade union, but the foundation has refused to recognise itFollowing the UK, a branch of Wiki Workers United was also established in the US. At the same time, the Wikimedia Foundation refused to recognise the trade union without holding a vote.Replying to @wikipediasuckscoop@lemmy.world
Should make for a spicy secion on wikipedias own history page, eh?

Not too spicy, but they at least acknowledge it.
On 27 July, WMF declined to voluntarily recognize the US union. WMF stated that the union would need to pursue a formal NLRB election procedure. 404 Media viewed the WMF’s 27 July statement as using “very carefully-worded language common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization”.

I wonder just how much they’re relying on Trump’s NLRB to sweep it under the rug. I highly doubt they’re doing this in good faith.
