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.
[union needed]@wwu you all should get you a slice of this (per Google AI):
"As of mid-2025, the Wikimedia Foundation holds approximately $72 million in cash and cash equivalents, along with about $213 million in short-term investments. Overall, its total net assets stand at around $296.5 million."

That's some impressive numbers. Even if *every* abstention were counted as 'no' it would still be at 75% support. -

[union needed]@wwu I did not know there were actual employees at Wikimedia. You have destroyed my image of what it is all about.

Still, congrats y’all!!!

[union needed]@wwu Honestly, I would be curious to hear why anyone would vote against such a union
"No thanks, I'd rather not work together to ensure the best conditions under which to do this work that we love"... -

"No thanks, I'd rather not work together to ensure the best conditions under which to do this work that we love"...@jwcph @wwu As someone who once worked at a company where a unionization effort failed by _one_ vote: never underestimate the amount of money/effort an employer will pour into dirty union-busting tricks.
Given the landslide victory in this case, I have to figure employees were remarkably well-educated on the matter.

@kgf @wwu I know; I've seen examples of the propaganda (though it doesn't happen here & may in fact be illegal) - but I still have a hard time grasping that anyone will believe that the basically-no-downsides can possibly outweigh the plethora of almost free upsides... I guess there'll always be people who think they can only prosper at the expense of their colleagues.
