UK Wikimedia Foundation staff officially asked management to recognize union

Wikimedia Foundation shutdown prompts 1,100+ petition

This comes after Wikimedia Foundation shut down a team that worked closely with Wikipedia's volunteer contributors, sparking worries about layoffs and platform stability.
More than 1,100 contributors signed a petition supporting Wiki Workers United and said they are ready to take collective action if needed.

Wikimedia Foundation says it will negotiate in good faith if staff vote to unionize but has not commented further yet.
