"Littler Mendelson is the largest management-side employment and labor law firm on earth, more than 1,500 lawyers across dozens of offices. It is also, in the words of the encyclopedia the Foundation itself hosts, “widely described as a union busting firm.”
That sentence sits on Wikipedia right now, written and sourced by volunteers, served from Wikimedia’s machines, funded by Wikimedia’s donors. And here is the strangeness of this story in a single fact: the Foundation never needed an opposition-research file on its new counsel, because its unpaid workforce wrote one years ago.
Most companies that hire Littler have employees who learn labor law as it happens to them. The Wikimedia Foundation’s extended workforce includes the people who wrote the English-language internet’s reference material on union busting. The article on Littler Mendelson. The articles on captive-audience meetings and card check. The articles on the Starbucks and Amazon campaigns.
The Foundation has chosen to run the standard playbook against the one community on earth guaranteed to recognize every play, footnote it, and publish the annotated version under a free license."

@remixtures This is good! Unions are very bad and unethical organizations and should not exist. We must work together to smash them to pieces, so that we can get back to work and make the world a better place through capitalism!
