70% of staff assistants making less than a living wage...truly baffling.
26 Jan 2022
No Hill staffer should be paid less than the living wage.
@_cpsa_'s survey results on working conditions and @IssueOneReform's report on junior staffers' salaries demonstrates the need for further reforms to improve the professional and personal lives of junior staffers.

@SenateSAA requests staffers' participation in a survey to help gauge interest in potential improvements to the flag ordering process.

Exciting news! Last week, @SenateSAA announced they are building an advisory group to improve the flag ordering process, citing MSA in its background.
Thank you to MSA's flag reform working group, including @MikaelTessema, Shoshana Leviton, and Anna Whitney!

Pay on the Hill is notoriously low at all levels, and raising wages across the board is critical for attracting and retaining talent. But there are staffers making $30k in one of the most expensive cities in the US. Public service is a privilege not many people can afford.

Snaps for standard onboarding training, HIR reforms, and better communications b/w constituents and their reps! However, we'd love to see a salary floor for junior staff that is mandatory instead of voluntary.
