Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm
(en.wikipedia.org)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
From reading the article and watching the video, it didn't sound like they were refusing the option of having a union. It was more that they wanted to have an official vote on the matter, and didn't want to be pressured into a decision on the spot:
Do we have any direct signs of union busting? It seems these law firms do other things for WMF.
Late last year Wikimedia disqualified two potential board members from eligibility days before the vote. They are notable for their push for transparency.
Wikimedia is moving towards opaque and draconian leadership methods. They are actively taking advantage of the trust we put in them to make disingenuous moves that will prevent Jimmy Wales from losing power over the knowledge. He's basically one bad decision from partnering with AI and now fewer people can stop him.
That's not union busting, is it? I understand the leadership problems, but we were talking about union busting specifically

Wonder if they came up with the "instead of paying union dues, wouldn't you rather play video games 🎮" posters
I was speaking of union bustion actions in WMF. I already know about these law firms
