A new resolution marks the first step in what could be a lengthy process for staffers.
— Michigan Congressman Andy Levin is introducing a resolution Wednesday that would formally allow House staffers to form unions and engage in collective bargaining.
The resolution calls for"approving certain regulations to implement provisions of the Congressional Accountability Act." That 1995 legislation extended labor protections to support legislative branch employees and entities like the U.S. Capitol Police, Library of Congress and the Architect of the Capitol but it stopped short of fully covering House and Senate staff.
The unionization movement accelerated on Capitol Hill last week after an Instagram account dubbed"Dear White Staffers" went viral with grievances from anonymous staffers about low pay, lack of diversity and hostile work environments. Republican leaders say they oppose staffers' efforts to unionize but a growing number of Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have expressed support for the move. The White House said President Biden is also on board.
