Campaign Workers Guild (CWG) is an independent American labor union. CWG represents workers on political campaigns, state parties, political consulting firms, non-profits, and other workplaces.[2][3] The union advocates for higher wages, more reasonable work schedules, and improved practices to prevent sexual harassment on campaigns.[4]
CWG was founded in early 2017 by current and former campaign workers.[5] Notable workplaces whose staff unionized with CWG include President Joe Biden,[6] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,[7] Julian Castro,[8] Pramila Jayapal, Deb Haaland, Randy Bryce, Cynthia Nixon, and ActBlue, among others.[9]
