Content creator unions

Some example of content creator unions include the following:

United States SAG-AFTRA expanded membership criteria to include content creators NYTimes influencers union

Germany IG Metall and Youtube Union launch Fairtube in 2019. In 2021, Fairtube becomes a registered eV (non profit) with membership due structure. FairCrowd article

United Kingdom The Creator Union, [Hart] laments that, as an influencer, her job is too “niche” for unionisation. Launch of the creator union

Thoughts? This is partly media, part platforms and partly due to exclusion of digital media/work in typical media/creative unions until recently. Shushugah (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On Listing New Union Announcements from the Source

Hi there! I used to edit many years ago, and am only recently getting back into it, so I want to say upfront I'm very much learning and new to things, and would appreciate any guidance and extra advice!

I recently added a table of US based tech industry / tech worker unions. For some they had clearly independent press coverage that was easy to cite. For others there might not have been a article to use, but the source themselves announced their creation or certification.

I understand self-published sources are generally to be avoided, but I thought the Wikipedia:Verifiability page says that self-published sources can be used under certain conditions, that I felt were met.

[section] in particular is what I'm referencing:

"Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the self-published source requirement that they are published experts in the field, so long as:

the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and the article is not based primarily on such sources. This policy also applies to material published by the subject on social networking websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Facebook."

These sources don't seem to make any claims about third parties, I see no reasonable doubt about authenticity, and the article itself is very much not based on self-published sources, simply a few examples are.

I believe even smaller tech / digital worker units are notable and should be listed in this context, but am I misunderstanding the guidelines?

Any help appreciated! Thanks! Wikiprole (talk) 03:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
