One year out since #Dobbs and I have nothing new to say. Giving people less ability to make their own choices is not good for them, their families, their communities, and the entire economy.

The Congressional Workers Union is proud to announce the Education and Workforce Committee as the first committee in the history of Congress to unionize, in addition to other recent victories in our union drive!

Worker interest in joining a union is at its highest in decades — public support for unions in the U.S. is as high as it was in 1965.
Urged on by a new generation of labor leaders, many workers see unionization as a way to make their companies better.

We’re back at the table with @foodandwater today to bargain for fair wages in our very first union contract. After years of stagnant wages and facing high costs of living, we're pushing for an agreement that meets the current needs of our staff. #1u (1/5)
