Congressional Workers Union

✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿BREAKING: Today we are unionizing the United States Congress.

As a staff-led union we understand how stressful this moment of uncertainty is. In the run up to a potential government shutdown, we want to share some resources and information for what staff can expect in the event that a CR does not pass by the Friday funding deadline.

TOMORROW: Come join your fellow CWU members and the CWU Executive Board in celebrating the end of September session! We will be at Metrobar at 6pm. Invite your colleagues and any fellow Hill workers interested in learning more about CWU and how to organize their workplaces.

We are proud to announce that members of the Pocan and Hoyle unit have secured historic Memorandums of Understanding. Today’s victories show that when congressional workers come together to bargain for the pay they deserve, they win—and we’re just getting started.

Collectively Bargained Agreements

Happy Labor Day from the Congressional Workers Union. Solidarity forever.

This could not have happened without the efforts of the campaign workers who fought for a fair and equitable contract. Congrats to the workers for this incredible win! #1u

Labor nerd level: Master 🎓 Graduated from @TheLaborCenter yesterday

Thank you Jane for your priceless lessons and passionate leadership. CWU loves you!

Almost every paper I've written in my labor studies master program referenced Jane's work. Her book No Shortcuts kept me grounded when we were building @Congress_Union that first year. Her contributions to the movement inspire so many of us!

🚨STRIKE ALERT🚨 @rocnewsguild union journos at the @DandC are on a ULP strike against union buster @Gannett as they fight to settle a fair contract. Don't cross the picket line and donate to their strike fund ✊ gofundme.com/f/support-unio…

Join us next Thursday, April 11th at 6pm for a Congressional Workers Union Happy Hour at Red Bear Brewing. Come meet your union siblings, get organized, and learn more about our recent victories and fights ahead.

Solidarity with @BeaconHillUnion ✊

Senate workers are at the table 😤

So true!

As workers at The Bazaar by José Andrés in the historic Old Post Office, we wait on ambassadors, CEOs, and DC’s political elite. We deserve living wages and a safe workplace, so today we announced our intent to unionize with @UHLocal25.
