Wikimedia Foundation Workers Overwhelmingly Vote to Form Union with CWA
维基媒体基金会员工以压倒性票数通过加入美国通信工人协会工会
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 in a global movement among Wikimedia Foundation workers to establish collective bargaining through the legal frameworks available in their respective countries.
美国加州旧金山——维基媒体基金会（托管维基百科及其姊妹项目的非营利组织）的美国员工赢得了工会选举，以压倒性票数加入美国通信工人协会(CWA)第9415分会。这一胜利标志着维基媒体基金会员工全球运动的重要里程碑，他们正通过各国法律框架建立集体谈判机制。
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.
美国员工的组织活动是”维基工人联合”全球工会运动的一部分，该运动旨在加强员工话语权、透明度、公平性和共同管理权。
“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."
"我们首个政府认可的谈判单位获得承认，是十余年来教育、动员和组织同事历程中的重大里程碑，“维基工人联合组织委员会成员、WWU-US/CWA成员布莱恩·戴维斯表示。“我们正在英国继续推进请愿活动，期待未来数周或数月有更多辖区特定单位争取自愿承认。团结精神将继续推动我们的讨论、规划和行动，因为我们正着手为所有维基媒体基金会员工争取集体合同谈判目标，无论其法律辖区、工作职责或工时如何。”
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).
今年7月，美国员工在绝大多数人签署工会授权卡后要求工会承认。当管理层拒绝履行尊重员工自由选择工会代表权的承诺时，员工们坚持通过美国国家劳工关系委员会(NLRB)监督的工会选举争取权益。
“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."
"今天的胜利展现了国际团结的力量，“CWA第9415分会主席德科万·雷姆表示。“WWU-US/CWA成员在职场和全球范围内组织起来，获得了国际同事及维基志愿者和编辑群体的巨大支持。现在我们将把成员们凝聚的力量带到谈判桌前，争取一份强有力的合同，让维基媒体员工获得他们早应享有的话语权。”
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.
维基工人联合向维基媒体志愿者社区致以诚挚谢意。超过2000名累计完成1500万次编辑的志愿者和社区成员公开签署请愿书支持维基媒体基金会员工，并确认让员工在运动未来发展中拥有实质性话语权的重要性。这份请愿书是英文维基百科历史上获得最多支持的请愿。维基工人联合组织委员会对这份非凡的团结展示深表感激。
“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.
”今天的选举结果不仅是美国维基媒体员工的应得胜利，也是所有相信自由民主互联网人士的胜利。作为参与全球1.4万次编辑、自2015年起的维基百科志愿者编辑，我很自豪能与其他2000名志愿者编辑共同庆祝这一成就，“志愿者Shushugah表示。
