The Wikimedia Foundation has stated it will not voluntarily recognize a union formed by its U.S. workers, Wiki Workers United. The foundation cited a desire for a secret-ballot election overseen by the National Labor Relations Board to ensure all eligible employees can make their choice freely. This decision, made shortly after the Wikimania conference in Paris, has drawn criticism from union supporters and Wikipedia editors who view it as a delay tactic and an attempt to undermine the unionization process, especially given the union's claim of securing authorization cards from a supermajority of workers.
