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.[4][5] The union advocates for higher wages, more reasonable work schedules, and improved practices to prevent sexual harassment on campaigns.[6]
CWG was founded in early 2017 by current and former campaign workers.[7] Notable workplaces whose staff unionized with CWG include President Joe Biden,[8] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,[9] Julian Castro,[10] Pramila Jayapal, Deb Haaland, Randy Bryce, Cynthia Nixon, and ActBlue, among others.[11]
