The union drive at the Wikimedia Foundation is expanding
The Verge·July 28, 2026
Wikimedia Foundation employees in the US are joining their UK counterparts in a union drive, seeking to form a union to represent their interests. The union, Wiki Workers United, is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America and has requested voluntary recognition from the foundation, but management has declined. The union claims that the Wikimedia Foundation's actions behind the scenes contradict its public stance of neutrality on the organizing efforts. The union drive is a significant development for the nonprofit organization that runs Wikipedia and other online platforms.
