Workers with the New York Legal Assistance Group alerted the nonprofit indigent legal services provider of their intent to form a union with Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, the union announced Thursday.
According to the union, over 200 attorneys, paralegals, financial counselors and administrative staff work at the organization, providing free legal services, from eviction actions to predatory debt collection practices, for New Yorkers in need. An “overwhelming majority” of the staff have signed cards in support of unionization, ALAA stated.
