The Legal Aid Society and its unionized lawyers will continue negotiations this week and return to the bargaining table on Thursday as the union considers a historic strike that could impact courts across the city, the head of Legal Aid’s union, Jane Fox, told amNewYork on Tuesday.
The union’s contract expired Tuesday at midnight. Though the contract remains in effect after expiration, the union can now trigger a strike, which the union’s members authorized Sunday evening in advance of final negotiations. Negotiations on Monday continued up to the midnight deadline, according to Fox.
