"After 26 years," he said,"the House has finally provided its workers the fundamental human right to form a union without fear of retaliation."
The Congressional Workers Union, launched in February, called the vote"a historic moment for thousands of congressional workers who have won basic labor protections to organize and bargain collectively without fear of retaliation." Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal also welcomed the resolution's passage, calling congressional workers"essential both to the functioning of the legislative branch and to ensuring that Congress well represents the communities we serve."
