Historic Harlem public defenders strike ends after 11 days
Harlem public defenders ended an 11-day strike after reaching a tentative agreement with Neighborhood Defender Services management, securing salary increases and maintaining no-cost healthcare. The strike, the first in the union’s history and the city’s longest public defender strike since 1982, caused court delays and left clients without their usual attorneys.
