Relevant to mention: I've just posted a thread about users reporting that apparently WMF has hired a union-busting firm.

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
