#Wikimedia CEO Bernadette Meehan would like to have a civil discussion about how "the Wikimedia Foundation respects the rights of all eligible employees to determine for themselves whether to pursue union representation." Wikimedia volunteers, feel free to leave a comment on her user talk page and let her know how you feel about this, here's what I had to say to her today:

See my first post in this thread for a summary of the situation.)
I'm fuming reading this article about how the #WikimediaFoundation just fired Brooke Vibber and the entire Community Tech team. It sure looks an awful lot like illegal #UnionBusting. 😡

If you are a #Wikipedia editor, please join me in showing your solidarity with #WikiWorkersUnited by signing the petition:

If you are not, you can still help. Please share widely about this. The article above suggests emailing the WMF board. Don't donate to WMF until this is resolved, they have a war chest already. I want us to embarrass WMF until they cave and reverse course. I want them to offer these workers their jobs back, stop union busting, and put it in their damn charter they won't try this crap again. I want them to realize without their community, they are nothing. We can strike. We can fork all of #Wikimedia if it comes to it. ✊
