U.S. workers certify first recognized unit as global union movement builds across Wikimedia Foundation
San Francisco, Calif. - U.S.-based workers at Wikimedia Foundation-the nonprofit organization that hosts Wikipedia and sister projects-have won their union election, voting overwhelmingly to join Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 9415. The victory marks an important milestone ina global movement among Wikimedia Foundation workers to establish collective bargaining through the legal frameworks available in their respective countries.
U.S.-based workers began organizing as a part of the broader Wiki Workers United global union campaign of Wikimedia Foundation workers committed to strengthening worker voice, transparency, equity, and shared stewardship.
"The recognition of our union's first government-sanctioned bargaining unit is a huge milestone in our over ten-year journey to educate, agitate, and organize coworkers," said Bryan Davis, a WWU organizing committee and WWU-US/CWA member. "We continue our petition for recognition in the U.K. and hope to see more jurisdiction-specific units call for voluntary recognition in the coming weeks and months. Solidarity will continue to drive our discussions, planning, and actions as we begin working on our collective goals for contract bargaining to support all WMF workers regardless of legal jurisdiction, job duty, or hours of employment."
In July, U.S.-based workers demanded union recognition after a supermajority of them signed union authorization cards. When management refused to uphold the organization's commitment to respect the rights of workers to freely choose union representation, workers persevered through a union election overseen by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
"Today's victory is a demonstration of the power of international solidarity," said Decovan Rhem, President of CWA Local 9415. "WWU-US/CWA members organized across their workplaces and across the world, building support among coworkers internationally and among an incredible community of volunteers and wiki editors. Now, we will take the power our members have built to the bargaining table to negotiate a strong contract that gives Wikimedia workers the voice they have long deserved."
WWU extends its sincere gratitude to the Wikimedia volunteer community. Over 2,000 volunteers and community members who have collectively made more than 15 million edits have publicly signed petitions supporting Wikimedia Foundation workers and affirming the importance of giving workers a meaningful voice in shaping the future of the movement. This petition is the most supported petition in history on the English-language Wikipedia. The WWU Organizing Committee is deeply appreciative of this extraordinary demonstration of solidarity.
"Today's election result is a well-deserved victory not only for Wikimedia U.S. staff, but for everyone who believes in a free, democratic internet. I am proud to be among the 2,000 volunteer editors celebrating this achievement today," said Shushugah, a volunteer Wikipedia editor since 2015 with over 14,000 global edits.

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Sept. 4 [Category: Union] -- National Nurses United issued the following news release:

Ventura County RNs to protest elimination of emergency and acute care services at Santa Paula Hospital
*
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, nurses and health care professionals at Santa Paula Hospital (SPH) and Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC) will protest county leaders' decision to reduce life-saving health care options in the Santa Clara River Valley, announced California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/NNU).
The Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted on Aug. 18to eliminate emergency and acute care services at SPH, by 2030 or sooner, and convert the hospital into a medical office building that would not be equipped to provide emergency services. Health care workers - along with community members - have raised their concerns that these changes will make it harder for Valley residents to access care. Valley residents experience worse health outcomes relative to the rest of Ventura County.
What: Protest to reverse elimination of emergency and acute care services at Santa Paula Hospital
Who: Nurses and health care professionals at SPH and VCMC
When: Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 7:45 am to 9:15 am
Where: Ventura County Government Center | 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, Calif. | the corner of Telephone Rd. and Victoria Ave.
"Instead of keeping health care close to home, County supervisors are forcing Valley residents to travel further for life-saving care," said Tiffany Leon, RN who works in Santa Paula Hospital and Ventura County Medical Center and lives in Santa Paula. "Ventura County Health Care Agency's plans are inappropriate and unjust, which is unsurprising because they have barely engaged residents and the health care workers who care for them. This decision undermines equal care and access for our patients."
An Aug. 7 "Future of Santa Paula Hospital" townhall in Santa Paula, organized by Ventura County Health Care Agency, was barely publicized, calling into doubt the extent of County leaders' public awareness efforts.
Currently, SPH offers emergency, medical-surgical, telemetry, in-patient observation, and operating room services for rural residents of Ventura, Saticoy, Lake Piru, Santa Paula, Camarillo, Fillmore, Ojai Valley, and Santa Clara River Valley. Without emergent and acute care hospital services, Valley residents will be expected to use the facilities at Ventura County Medical Center, which is 15 miles away from Santa Paula Hospital. The removal of these important services will leave thousands of community members out of reach of life-saving services.
Tiffany Leon, RN and other health care professionals are particularly concerned about the impact on these changes marginalized communities, including the workers who power the County's agricultural industry. She said, "All residents of Ventura County deserve a fully functioning hospital that is able to provide services for emergencies and other acute care needs. Nurses and health care professionals are taking to the streets to let our community know we are fighting for their health care and to demand County supervisors and health care administrators provide equal care for all Ventura County residents."
In total, CNA represents over 900 health care professionals, including RNs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psych techs, and licensed vocational nurses who work at two hospitals, ambulatory and specialty clinics, public health departments, and behavioral health clinics.
California Nurses Association/National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the nation with more than 100,000 members in more than 200 facilities throughout California and more than 225,000 RNs nationwide.

(EVERETT, Mass.) - More than 1,300 workers at Encore Boston Harbor, represented by Teamsters Local 25 and UNITE HERE Local 26, have been forced to go on strike after the company refused to bargain in good faith for a new contract.
On Thursday, August 20, Teamsters voted 97 percent to authorize a strike if a fair contract wasn't reached.Encore Boston Harbor Teamsters are demanding a contract that delivers better wages, stronger benefits, and enhanced protections on the job.
"Encore management has pushed our members to the brink because they thought they could take our labor for granted," said Tommy Blitsch, Director of the Teamsters Convention, Trade Show, and Casino Division. "If Encore wants its casino running, it needs the workers who make it run. And the Teamsters are standing up and fighting back."
The group includes 211 Teamsters who work in the warehouse, horticulture, call center, cage cashiers, limo drivers, dispatchers, traffic attendants, valet and guest experience attendants. They are crucial to Encore's operations as a five-star resort.
"We make Encore a world-class resort that generates enormous profits because of our hard work," said James Atkins, lead gardener and chief steward at Local 25. "We didn't want to strike but we won't accept a contract that blatantly disrespects our labor. We're on the picket line and will stay out as long as it takes to get a fair deal."
Encore took in $847 million in Boston last year, yet management refused to come back to the table and offer any meaningful improvements, even after the strike authorization vote.
"Encore slow-walked negotiations and played games with our members, and now they're going to see how big of a mistake that was," said Thomas G. Mari, President of Local 25. "When a company refuses to respect the workers who make its profits possible, we shut it down. The Teamsters don't cross picket lines and won't be intimidated."
Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit Teamster.org for more information. Follow us on X @Teamsters and on Facebook at Facebook.com/teamsters.

*
Nurses at Olympia Fields Hospital in Olympia Fields, Illinois, gave notice to Prime Healthcare today that they will hold a strike for one day on September 15 to protest the administration's retaliation against nurses who speak up and fight for their patients, announced National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC), an affiliateof National Nurses United (NNU), the largest union of registered nurses in the nation.
In solidarity with nurses at Olympia Fields, nurses and health care workers at five Prime hospitals in four states will hold sympathy strikes or pickets on the same day. Nurses at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nev.; West Anaheim Medical Center in Anaheim, Calif., and nurses and health care workers at Shasta Regional Medical Center in Redding, Calif. will go on sympathy strike on Sept. 15. Nurses at two Prime hospitals in two states will hold informational pickets on Sept. 15: Saint Mary of Nazareth in Chicago and Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Maine. In total, more than 2,800 nurses and health care workers will be either striking or picketing on Sept. 15.
The nurses in California are represented by California Nurses Association, an affiliate of National Nurses United. The health care workers at Shasta Regional Medical Center are represented by Caregivers and Healthcare Employees Union. Nurses in Nevada, Illinois, and Maine are represented or seeking representation by NNOC. The nurses and health care workers in Illinois, Nevada, and California began their one-day strike earlier today over Prime's refusal to address during contract negotiations their deep concerns about patient care and safe staffing.
Union election dates have been scheduled. Nurses at Olympia Fields, Saint Francis, and Central Maine want to unionize. They filed election petitions with the National Labor Relations Board on Aug. 24 to join NNOC and will be voting on these dates:
* Saint Francis Hospital election: Sept. 17
* Olympia Fields Hospital: Sept. 23
* Central Maine Medical Center: Sept. 23
Nurses across the country are rising up systemwide against Prime Healthcare because Prime endangers patients and nurses by putting profits above all else. The strike notice for Sept. 15 was delivered after the nurses held a protest this afternoon at Olympia Fields in response to management's union busting. In addition to suspensions of six nurses at Olympia fields, one nurse at Saint Francis has been suspended for speaking up and advocating for patients.
The suspensions are just one aspect of Prime's shoddy treatment of its workers. Learn more about Prime's crimes at crimehealthcare.com.
Prime's Profiteering
The conditions driving Prime nurses to take unprecedented collective action at their hospitals are part of a broader pattern of Prime negligence and cutting services despite its profits. In 2024, Prime Healthcare made an estimated $4.4 billion in revenue according to credit reports, and Prime's nonprofit system, Prime Healthcare Foundation, reported another $1.4 billion in revenue in their audited report.
* Prime has a history of acquiring hospitals and then cutting services after it promised to maintain them.
* After it acquired St. Mary's Hospital in Kankakee, Ill., in 2025, Prime shut down the hospital's obstetrics, gynecology, and childbirth and delivery services, and voluntarily gave up its Trauma Level II designation, resulting in an injunction filed by the Kankakee County state's attorney, claiming that Prime was dishonest about keeping services open.
* Prime cut services in 2025 at St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, Ill. and at Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, Ill., soon after acquisition, leading to a letter to Prime CEO Prem Reddy from Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin accusing the company of violating its commitments to maintain services to meet community needs.
* On Sept. 1, 2026, Prime announced that it would cut obstetric services at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, and Resurrection Medical Center in Chicago and consolidate them at Saint Mary of Nazareth in Chicago and Olympia Fields Hospital in Olympia Fields.
* In 2024, Prime Healthcare Foundation, which includes Saint Francis Hospital in Illinois and Central Maine Medical Center, claimed more than $78 million in debts they tried to collect from patients who qualify for charity care, according to their own policies.
* Prime's nonprofit hospitals made more than $104 million in payments to firms owned by Prime CEO Prem Reddy: Prime Healthcare Services Inc., the main for-profit company owning all the for-profit hospitals, Prime Healthcare Management, and Bio-Med Services, Inc., a medical equipment and consulting company. Prime only gave $3.5 million in uncompensated charity care, roughly 0.4 percent of the foundation's expenses.
