Every worker deserves a union. Period. RT if you agree. #CongressUnionNow
EVERY worker deserves a union—whether they work at Starbucks or the halls of Congress.
Today @ 2 pm, watch @HouseAdm_Dems' hearing to move forward passing @RepAndyLevin's resolution protecting @Congress_Union’s’ Right to Organize.
#CongressUnionNOW
Until the House passes @RepAndyLevin’s resolution cosponsored by 161 members, @Congress_Union remains exposed to retaliation for organizing.
It’s time @HouseDemocrats fulfill their promise to protect workers’ rights, starting with their own.
Let’s get this done.
In 1996 the resolution approving bargaining rights for @librarycongress & GAO workers was sent straight to the floor for a vote.
Why should congressional workers' rights be treated differently?
We stand with @Congress_Union. Bring the resolution to the floor with no delay!
