Campaign Workers Guild (CWG) is an independent American labor union. CWG represents workers on political campaigns, state parties, political consulting firms, non-profits, and other workplaces.[4][5] The union advocates for higher wages, more reasonable work schedules, and improved practices to prevent sexual harassment on campaigns.[6]

CWG was founded in early 2017 by current and former campaign workers.[7] Notable workplaces whose staff unionized with CWG include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,[8] Julian Castro,[9] Pramila Jayapal, Deb Haaland, Randy Bryce, Cynthia Nixon, and ActBlue, among others.[10]
