minus-squareantonim@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45arrow-down1·edit-230 days agoRelevant to mention: I’ve just posted a thread about users reporting that apparently WMF has hired a union-busting firm. https://lemmy.world/post/50205578 It is publicly confirmed that WMF contracted the notorious union-busting law firm Littler Mendelson to fight Wiki Workers United. (I also posted it to this community but it got deleted by the autobot.) Edit: I just realised the OP link/article talks about this as well, ah 🤦♂️ Also may be worth mentioning the later part of the article, talking about Abstract Wikipedia, a beta project regarding whose future a request for comments has been called. Many editors believe it is unviable and a waste of money and time: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/The_future_of_Abstract_Wikipedia
