"Today, the House took historic action paving the way for Congressional staffers to choose to join together in a union. By empowering staffers to advocate for themselves and each other, we take an important step to ensure the House is best able to serve the American people.

The Congress has long been strengthened by the skill, dedication and patriotism of our hard-working staffers, who enable us to fulfill our legislative and constituent responsibilities.

Last week, I was proud to announce that the House will set its first-ever pay floor, establishing a minimum annual salary of $45,000. We have also increased the maximum rate of pay, an essential strategy to retain and recruit the nation's top talent.

These new steps build on the actions that I have been proud to take as Speaker to strengthen and diversify our Capitol Hill workforce, including establishing @DiverseCongress to help open the doors to public service for underrepresented communities.

Every day, our work #ForThePeople is made possible by the immense talent & devoted service of our staff. @HouseDemocrats are firmly committed to ensuring that Congressional staffers have the resources & support they need to carry on this essential mission."

@SpeakerPelosi
