- Public defender union representing nearly 300 attorneys in Brooklyn and Queens authorizes strike
A public defender union representing nearly 300 attorneys in Brooklyn and Queens authorized a strike after 96% of members voted to do so due to stalled negotiations over salaries, health insurance, and hybrid work schedules. The union, Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS), is part of the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys (ALAA), and management has since presented a new economic proposal, though no strike deadline has been set.
