Pelosi would give 'full support' if congressional staffers unionize, aide says

Congressional staffers who choose to unionize would have the "full support" of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), an aide of hers said Thursday.

"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," Drew Hammill, Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, tweeted on Thursday.

Hammill's statement comes after Pelosi did not provide a definitive stance on whether she would support congressional staffers unionizing during her weekly press conference.

"Do you support staffer attempts to unionize here in Congress?" Latino Rebels correspondent Pablo Manriquez asked Pelosi earlier on Thursday.

The Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capitol and I think the CAO may have a bargaining unit. Little more difficult in a members office as you serve at the will of the Member of Congress
