Children’s Law Center union strikes for improved wages and conditions in NYC
Staff members from the Children’s Law Center (CLC), a chapter of the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys (UAW Local 2325), began a strike on Monday in downtown Brooklyn, demanding fair wages and improved working conditions.
The union represents more than 3,000 legal services workers from more than 24 non-profit organizations, primarily in New York City.
CLC, a 26-year-old nonprofit law firm, specializes in representing children in custody, visitation and guardianship litigation. The CLC staff unionized in 2020 due to growing caseloads and inadequate wages.
