@josephcox well, guess what organization got their monthly donation cancelled? VISA will be charging back all my contributions that they'll allow.

@josephcox wow, went to read the official WMF statement and it reeks of union busting type language.

Especially the "That said, we recognize that if the CWA becomes staffs’ exclusive representative for purposes of collective bargaining, we will have a legal responsibility to avoid dealing directly with staff on their pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.", what a big red flag. Oh and same thing for "If staff elect to maintain a direct relationship with the Foundation, we will continue to work with staff directly on workplace issues."

Yeah, unions are big meanies that want to block staff from discussing with WMF 🥺 Maybe go fuck yourself WMF? 🥺

Why would you deliberately insult your user base like this?

Who needs to sell out to a corporate overlord when you can simply act like one yourself?
