'It is long past time the United States Congress became a unionized workplace, and that includes my own staff,' said Rep. Ilhan Omar. 'I am proud of all the people on my team who have played a leading role in the staff unionization effort.'
"As a former union member myself and someone who represents a union district in Minnesota, I am deeply proud of my staff for making their collective voices heard and voting to unionize," Omar said."Unions are the bedrock of the middle class."
Khanna similarly welcomed the news in a series of tweets Friday, congratulating his staff and recognizing that"it takes tremendous bravery to stand up and chart a new path forward."
