"We respect the right. If it is the majority will of eligible staff members to unionize then there will a union and we will enter into collective bargaining on a good faith level to come up with a collective bargaining agreement." - Bernadette Meehan, CEO, WMF, Wikimania 2026 Fireside Chat, July 24, 2026

Wikimedia volunteers have stood alongside workers throughout this campaign. Thank you!

Yesterday, the Wikimedia Foundation declined to voluntarily recognize Wiki Workers United. Today, we launch [union needed]: an evidence-based campaign inspired by Wikipedia's [citation needed] documenting why workers organized.

"If the decision is to have a union, we'll have a union. It's really, it's truly that simple." - Bernadette Meehan, CEO, Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimania Fireside Chat July 24, 2026.

"Wikipedia is the broadest and perhaps most important collection of knowledge humanity has ever created. Its most-dedicated stewards deserve to be treated fairly by their employer. The right to unionise is central to a fair workplace." - HDSQ, Wikipedia volunteer

We were deeply moved to learn about today's solidarity action. Thank you to everyone across the Wikimedia movement who stood with us and reminded us of the power of community. At Wikimania 2026, the theme is Freedom, Equity, Reliability - and today, volunteers across the movement demonstrated another value at the heart of Wikimedia: Solidarity.
