Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren said on Thursday that she supported her campaign workers’ formation of a union.

The announcement comes after CNBC reported on Tuesday that nonmanagement campaign employees authorized International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2320 to represent them.

“Every worker who wants to join a union, bargain collectively, & make their voice heard should have a chance to do so. The labor movement has long fought for the dignity of working people, & we’re proud to be part of it,” Warren wrote in a post on Twitter.

Presidential campaigns have not historically unionized. But organizers for Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist, made history earlier this year by forming the first union of presidential campaign workers. That union obtained a contract last month.
