Legal Workers

Facing Rising Caseloads And Stagnant Pay, NYC Legal Workers Strike

July 27, 2025 Schuyler Mitchell, Truthout. , , , ,
In a historic coordinated campaign, hundreds of nonprofit legal services workers in New York City are currently on strike, demanding both better employment conditions and better legal representation for their clients navigating everything from the criminal legal system to housing and immigration courts. Eleven chapters of the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys (ALAA), representing almost 2,000 workers, voted in 2023 to commit to sectoral bargaining — a strategy in which unions across multiple workplaces bargain collectively to raise standards for an entire industry. To maximize union leverage, the shops aligned their contracts to expire at the same time this year on June 30.
