Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate Campaign Staff

In April 2026, staff on Chris Pappas’ campaign for U.S. Senate voted to join IBEW Local 1837 and ratified their first collective bargaining agreement, becoming part of a growing movement of political campaign workers organizing for a voice on the job.

The agreement established standards for wages, employer-paid healthcare, paid time off, workplace protections, and a structured process for resolving workplace concerns. Through collective bargaining, campaign staff secured important protections while continuing their work to elect candidates who support working families.

The Pappas campaign staff joined a growing number of political and campaign workers represented by IBEW Local 1837, further expanding the local’s commitment to representing workers in utility, broadcasting, political, and campaign workplaces throughout New England.
