BREAKING NEWS: This week, the NDS Union, spanning our Harlem, Detroit and Texas offices, officially launched our bargaining campaign for a new contract. We call on management to bargain in good faith and to fulfill the promise of public defense. #MayDay#NDS#NDSUnion#UAW
Today Management asked for questions in advance of our yearly all staff meeting after months of broken promises, not following the CBA, failure to pay backpay, refusing to give us our COLA money, or providing any plan for mental health support. Our only question is: how dare you?
#MotivationalMonday We won’t back down from our fight for a fair contract that ensures the highest quality representation for our clients and addresses the needs of membership!
After 12 bargaining sessions, here’s where things stand…

Members from the @NDSUnion in Detroit rallied today for a fair contract kicking off a national week of action.
@NeighborhoodDef: Listen to your workers it’s time to come to the table!
Are public defender offices *actually* committed to retaining the experienced staff our clients deserve? Or are they content with being churn & burn factories? Time to #fulfillthepromise of public defense, meet @NDSUnion at the bargaining table with a fair contract.
