House Democrats led by Rep. Andy Levin of Michigan are pushing a proposal to enable congressional aides to form collective bargaining unions like those that represent nearly half of the federal government’s 2.1 million career civil servants.

“In a matter of days, 130 of my colleagues have joined me to say we could not serve our districts or states without the hard work and dedication of congressional staff, and that we honor the staff-led efforts to organize Congress,” Levin said in a Feb. 8 statement.
