Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “threw cold water on efforts by congressional staff to form unions, arguing public officials and staff are ultimately accountable to their constituents,” Politico reports.
Said Manchin: “When you’re working for tax dollars and you’re at will and pleasure, I’m here at the will and pleasure of the people. They have a chance to change and things of that sort so we’ve got to make sure we’re doing it and doing it right.”
