Andrew Yang campaign members in two states join union

Andrew Yang’s presidential campaign is the latest to show it’s a friend of organized labor, with an announcement Thursday that some of the White House hopeful’s staffers will enter a union.

“Today marks a victory not only for our workers, but for campaign staff across the country asking for improved labor provisions, asking for appreciation as a collective whole and asking for a chance to be recognized as more than simply an employee,” read a statement from Yang field organizer Chad Young. “I am excited to join together with my coworkers in becoming Campaign Workers Guild members.”
