[19:01:12] <wm-bb>	 <allthegoodnamesaretakenalready> Hi all
[19:01:13] <wm-bb>	 <allthegoodnamesaretakenalready> WMF announced the day after Wikimania they have chosen not to recognise the WMF staff unionisation efforts in the US and UK voluntarily. I'm sharing this as someone who has never worked for the Foundation, but if I did I would not like to be treated like this. 
[19:01:14] <wm-bb>	 <allthegoodnamesaretakenalready> I hope you will consider signing as this petition to ask the board to instruct the CEO to voluntarily recognise the US union and begin bargaining in good faith.
