US & UK branches of Wiki Workers United, the two largest countries in Wikimedia Foundation's staffing, are both officially in the midst of seeking recognition.
WWU-UK is entering formal negotiations because WMF refused voluntary recognition and chose negotiations instead.
It remains to be seen whether WMF will voluntarily recognize the supermajority US union or force staff to go through a formal National Labor Relations Board election.

@bvibber@wikis.world I notice that Wikipedia:Wiki_Workers_United_solidarity is still slowly growing and now up to 1183 signatures, only 191 less than the largest ever received and that was an issue directly affected editors while this is editors supporting staff. We've got your back.
