Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm

I instantly regret every donation I’ve made to Wikipedia, and won’t be making more in the future.

I had the same instinct, but then I read an argument from a contributor who recommended continuing to support the organization financially while writing privately and publicly in support of the union. Voting with your wallet in this case has a good chance of backfiring, or at least sending the wrong message. The bottom line is taking money away from the organization hurts regular employees more than the leaders. Then again, if you believe the leadership is going to do this no matter what you do, it’s understandable not to want to give the organization any support. It would be a terrible thing for this organization to die, but the ones putting it on this path are the leadership.

Are they working with any kind of union organizer like Tech Workers Coalition? We could donate to them instead.
