A number of Democratic congressional campaigns are banding together with a new union whose mission is to unite campaign staffers across the nation.
The Campaign Workers Guild (CWG) announced a deal Monday with Democrat Randy Bryce’s campaign — the Wisconsin challenger of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan — that would ensure campaign staffers get paid time off and at least $3,000 per month. The contract also includes a $500 reimbursement for health insurance and a system of reporting sexual harassment claims.
The deal marks the first of its kind in a midterm election cycle.
CWG is also reportedly in talks with other congressional campaigns and one gubernatorial campaign.
