Do not donate a penny to Wikimedia until the union is recognized
New from 404 Media: Wikimedia will not voluntarily recognize union a supermajority of its workers want
Wikimedia waited until the days following its largest worldwide conference to issue a statement saying it would not voluntarily recognize a union of its workers.

What's the current status of this? If it's still a live issue, I'll Boost your post, take the solidarity actions requested by the union organisers, and email WM.

If I email WM Foundation, it will be to say that they won't get a cent from me, *ever*, until they;
* recognise the union in both the US and UK, as requested by their workers
* cancel their contract with the pinkertons and publicly apologise for having anything to do with them, let alone pay them with *our* donations
* donate the same amount to the union that they paid the pinkertons
If you don't know what pinkertons are, Wikipedia is your friend (usually);

@strypey As far as I know there has been movement, maybe, but the union is still not recognized, but I'd take their page as the definitive source, not me, I'm just an outsider
