@aburka @Profpatsch thanks for flagging. It looks like we used a version of the image that had been run through Canva to add a blur effect. We've replaced this in an edit of the original post.
@wwu @aburka @Profpatsch this is awesome. now where is the donate button? can't seem to find it at https://cwa-union.org

"Wikipedia is the broadest and perhaps most important collection of knowledge humanity has ever created. Its most-dedicated stewards deserve to be treated fairly by their employer. The right to unionise is central to a fair workplace." - HDSQ, Wikipedia volunteer
@wwu I'm pro-workers, but doesn't Wikipedia use volunteers and contributors? How many people are actually working for Wikipedia with a valid work contract? Is it a 9-to-5 job? What do they do? Do they have a pension fund?
Wikipedia operates on fundraisers and donations. It's a nonprofit entity, and as such, it's constantly asking users to give money. Personally, I thought that money was going to infrastructure and utility bills, not salaries.
How would you unionise under these circumstances, anyway?
