Queens Defenders Workers Union - UAW Local 2325/ALAA - Public Defense Organization serving Queens, NY #QDUnion #QueensDefendersUnite

[ALAA - UAW 2325 @alaa2325]

It is truly absurd that @NYCMayor continues to lay blame at the "speed" of the Courts, when he could easily release incarcerated individuals serving city sentences.

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

DA @MelindaKatz - stop seeking cash bail NOW! Your office is literally sending people to die for the crime of not being able to afford bail.

Shame on @QueensDefenders management, the only PD office in NYC that was not willing to sign this open letter. Justice for our clients!

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Randal Wilhite, a member of @alaa2325 at @nylag was removed from his work advising taxi drivers due to his strong advocacy. @TLCCommishChair @NYCDCAd must immediately allow him to resume his work.

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

@QueensDefenders - will management join us in condemning @MelindaKatz and demanding that her office stop seeking cash bail immediately? @LoriZenoQD

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

What is happening at #Rikers Island is an abomination and is literally killing our clients. Shame on DA @MelindaKatz, whose office continues to seek cash bail to send yet more presumed-innocent New Yorkers to this deathtrap.

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

@MJ_Bernowitz @QueensDefenders @alaa2325 Hi Marissa - thanks for taking an interest in the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe at Rikers this year. Will QD management publicly demand that DA @MelindaKatz immediately stop seeking cash bail in Queens? @LegalAid1199

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Congratulations and solidarity to our new union siblings @appadunion! Welcome! @alaa2325 #appadunion #publicdefenders #solidarity

[BDS Union @bds_union]

Per the NLRB, the BDS Union has won this election.

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Yes! Welcome!

[BDS Union @bds_union]

Final count on the question of a wall to wall union: 172 YES - 40 NO

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Once again, every public defender office in the city comes together to release a statement, and QD isn't on the list.

The staff attorneys and social workers of QD support this message. The courthouses in the city are not safe enough. https://t.co/7Lw0c3cexz

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

We stand in solidarity with our sister orgs across the city, even if our management has once again inexplicably failed to get our org's name on a joint statement issued by every other PD on a critically important issue

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Justice for Brandon Rodriguez. We are appalled that this young man lost his life in DOC custody.

[ALAA - UAW 2325 @alaa2325]

Solidarity with the newly elected of Bargaining Committee of the @QdUnion going into their first bargaining session with @QueensDefenders management today.

The Union Makes Us Strong. #QDUnionStrong 💪✊

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

If we can visually see that they haven't even bothered to clean the mold off the vents, how can we trust they are taking adequate covid precautions?

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

While we agree that a return to court is good for our clients, it is important to underline that safety and cleanliness in the courthouse remains a concern that has not been adequately addressed by OCA https://t.co/oHiB1hCMKw

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Long before covid, it was common to get sick after working arraignments. OCA had a chance this past year to take health and safety in the courthouses seriously, and it appears they have done very little

[QDUnion @QdUnion]

Thrilled to have @bds_union join us in @alaa2325! Welcome!

[BDS Union @bds_union]

Rank & file staff at Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS) are proud to announce the formation of a BDS Union as a chapter of @ALAA2325. A supermajority of staff now call on BDS management to recognize our wall-to-wall union. #bdsunion #unionstrong • Learn more in our press release:

DIA TRABAJADO - DIA PAGADO
Welcome to the workers of @NICE4Workers who have announced they are forming a chapter of ALAA at their workplace today.

We call on management to immediately recognize the Union!

[ALAA - UAW 2325 @alaa2325]

A few months ago we highlighted union-busting by @QueensDefenders, now we are in another struggle with another organization @Center4FamRep which refuses to reach a contract with their staff and ensure just cause protections.

Accept the Union’s proposal for a #FairContractCFR!
