YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCongressional workers are speaking on camera for the first time to reveal a culture of abuse that sparked a drive to unionize Congress. They’re severely overworked & underpaid. Some are on food stamps & can’t afford rent. They're organizing to form the Congressional Workers Union to fight for change.
But right now, congressional workers are not legally protected if they organize. Representative Andy Levin and over 150 House Democrats have introduced a resolution to change that and give congressional staff the right to unionize. Senator Sherrod Brown is leading a similar effort in the Senate.
