"White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday that President Biden supports efforts by Capitol Hill staffers to form a union. When asked if White House staff have been in touch with the congressional staffers who are pushing for a union, Psaki directed the question to congressional leadership. The announcement of Bidenโ€™s support for a union on Capitol Hill comes amid the surging popularity of the Instagram account "Dear_White_Staffers," which started posting in early 2020 largely about alleged unequal treatment of minority staffers on Capitol Hill. More recently, the account's served as a clearinghouse for more general complaints about poor pay, alleged harassment and generally poor working conditions, often naming individual members. Other prominent Democrats have expressed support for the union, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who both publicly approved the move on Thursday. On Friday, a group of staffers formally announced their intent to pursue a union."
