"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

"If the decision is to have a union, we'll have a union. It's really, it's truly that simple." - Bernadette Meehan, CEO, Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimania Fireside Chat July 24, 2026.

Check out Wiki Workers United - CWA's press release. This is just the beginning! We are not done fighting for our rights. We remain united. We remain committed to one another. And we will continue organizing together.
