Listening to the Impeachment testimony. Now they are talking about how non-congress members.....

..... were affected by the invasion of their workplace.

A question for the legal brains here at DU.

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY THE UNIONS CAN'T SUE CONGRESS for NOT providing a safe workplace.

1. I hope they could personally sue those in Command that

Stood down and didn't send back up, rump at the top of the list.

2. Unfortunately there are very few unions in the Hill

The AOC and the USCP are the only two organizations with bargaining units.

3. Then how about a class action suit. They are suggesting there are 1000's of employes at the Capitol.

Again just thinking out loud. Thanks.

4. I like that, and would love to join.

5. I believe members of congress are shielded for official actions, which is just about everything...

related to the operation of gov't.

They might be able to sue the gov't, aka the people, but they can't sue individuals acting in an official capacity.
