The lawyers’ union for the Legal Aid Society, Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys – United Auto Workers Local 2325, notified Legal Aid Tuesday evening that union leadership had voted to terminate the collective bargaining agreement that prevented lawyers from striking.
The agreement is set to expire on July 18 — 10 days after notification — at which point the union may go on strike. In a vote last month, union membership overwhelmingly authorized a strike amid stalled negotiations with management. The union’s contract expired July 1, but both parties have stayed at the bargaining table in hopes of reaching an agreement.
