Striking Bronx Defenders union says management left attorney no choice but to cross picket line for immigration hearing where client risks deportation

A striking immigration attorney at Bronx Defenders is forced to cross the picket line for a client's deportation hearing after management and a federal judge refused to postpone the case. The union claims the attorney's supervisor intentionally sought a continuance knowing it would compel the attorney to return to work, violating strike protocols designed to ensure client representation during the labor action.
