2026-05-23 Statement from WWU

We, the provisional members of WWU, are deeply appreciative of the many community voices speaking in support. While we do not know the reasons behind Foundation leadership’s recent actions, it remains clear that a union is necessary to ensure that WWU’s focus areas are established and upheld for the health of the organization and of the movement.

As a pre-recognition and pre-contract solidarity union, we are currently focused on internal organizing efforts and protecting Foundation staff. Therefore, we cannot commit to responding to external inquiries at this time.

For Foundation staff who have been following these conversations and are interested in learning more or participating, organizing conversations are ongoing and there is space to join them.

A heartfelt thanks to all parties who share in WWU’s values and goals.
