This one is so very, very important. Wikipedia holds a very particular place in our collective knowledge-making, and having a union in place adds, among other things like worker protections, a second line of defense against undermining that knowledge-making.
WE DID IT. WE WON. 💜✊
Wikimedia Foundation workers voted 158 YES to 14 NO: 91.9% of ballots cast, with 81% turnout.
We’re so proud of everyone who built this union, and this win belongs to our whole community. We could not have done it without the solidarity of Wikimedia volunteers.
This is just the beginning. We stand with our UK siblings in their recognition process now, and with future organizing efforts across WMF’s global workforce. 🌍
