Staff seeks to create union at DNC

Rank-and-file staff at the Democratic National Committee are pressing to form a union after months of negotiations.

Discussions started late last year after unionization efforts were energized by President Biden’s win in last year’s election and a more progressive mood in Washington, sources told The Hill and confirmed by the DNC.

While some Democrats say past unionization attempts have not got much traction, others say the political climate has shifted enough for the new effort to be successful.
