WASHINGTON (AP) - Some of the people at the Government Accountability Office think it's a good time to try to organize a union at the investigative arm of Congress now that it's being run by Democrats.
GAO analysts and the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers plan to present hundreds of cards requesting a union vote for 1,500 analysts and investigators to agency officials on Tuesday.
Gay Hee Lee, a senior health care analyst as GAO, said a union would ensure the workers become part of the decision-making process at the watchdog agency. "It's something that we often recommend to other agencies, for all stakeholders to be involved. We're stakeholders in GAO," she said.
