House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she would support a union among Capitol Hill staff as an anonymous Instagram account publishes alleged horror stories from working in a variety of offices.
"We just unionized at the DCCC, and I supported that," Pelosi, D-Calif., said when asked about a potential union during her Thursday press conference. She was referencing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"Like all Americans, our tireless Congressional staff have the right to organize their workplace and join together in a union. If and when staffers choose to exercise that right, they would have Speaker Pelosi’s full support," Hamill tweeted Thursday afternoon. Offices also rely heavily on unpaid internships and fellowships, positions aspiring Hill staffers often need – sometimes even after graduating from college – before they're able to land a paid position.
