The Wikimedia Foundation hasn’t just refused to recognize their workers’ unions; they’ve also hired one of the most notorious union-busting firms out there. https://medium.com/regarding-wikipedia/the-wikimedia-foundation-hired-the-union-busters-its-own-encyclopedia-warned-about-42b7142a5cd1 #1u #unions #TechUnions

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com No more donations to Wikipedia until they recognize the union.

There’s a lot of (correct imo!!) outrage in my mentions, with some folks brainstorming actions to take. One suggestion from the peanut gallery: follow @wwu@social.wikiworkersunited.org, and support any actions *they* ask us to take, and when they want us to take them. You can (and should!) register your displeasure with The Wikimedia Foundation however you see fit. Just consider that your action will be *even more effective* if it’s part of a worker-led campaign.

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com This really hurts my soul because I've been a Wikimedia donor forever, but I cannot abide union busting.
