Gordo ,
a) Wikimedia UK does have anything to say about unions its employees are free to join a union b) In france , belgium , the netherlands , germany, scandianavian countries, austria even swtizerland any worker (wage earning) is free to join a labourunion and about 80% of private sector workers are syndicated , public servants are even over 90% syndicated
I would expect an organisation like Wikimedia to have an employee representation of a bout 1 representative for each 50 staff , that they are not represented on the board by a board-member is not a concern as long as there is a formal consultation and participatory platform at HR level where staff is represented in matters related to employment , working standards and practises, health and safety and where the board can liaise with staff

Arguably, the employees have a bigger stake in the Wikimedia Foundation, they are not even represented.
Then they should unionise?

Following the arguments that unions would would not fit, does Wikimedia UK allow unions? And other chapters with staff?
